Wings of Migration: Monarchs and Cultures in Movement

Join us on October 30th for a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Jesús Montaño, a scholar of Latinx literatures and cultures, whose work explores the transformative power of storytelling on young minds. 

This event will center on the theme of migration—a universal experience shared across species and human lives—symbolized by the monarch butterfly’s incredible journey of resilience. Just as the monarch travels thousands of miles across generations to find its way home, so too do people migrate in search of belonging and survival, often encountering significant challenges along the way. 

• Enjoy viewing Latinx young adult graphic novels and picture books on the topic of migration

• Paint our garden beds using stencils designed by students from Baylor's Department of Art and Art History

• Join in an environmentally-themed game of Lotería with prizes (if you are unfamiliar with Lotería, click here to learn about this culturally rich cousin of bingo)!

Organized by the Office of Sustainability and Environmental Humanities Minor for Campus Sustainability Month and Hispanic Heritage Month.
