Walking Together

creates a space to share and increase the visibility of student research on Latinx migration topics by amplifying academic and community collaborations that align with St. Thomas’ convictions of dignity, respect, and diversity.

Project

Our project starts with the fastest growing and largest immigrant community in the Twin Cities area: the Latinx community. We hope to be able to add other voices and communities to this project as it evolves.

Mission

Our mission is to come together to better understand migration, to celebrate immigrant community contributions and to advocate for anti-bias perspectives on migration, immigration, and displacement.

Our Current Projects

Explore the different projects that range from mapping out current Latinx cultural sites to learning the historical presence of the Latinx migrant in MN. 

Historias

This project seeks to collaboratively tell the history and stories of the Latinx community in Minnesota.

Itinerarios

This is an interactive map that gathers crowdsourced information on places relevant to the Twin Cities that help visualize the Latinx community.

La Vacuna Somos Todos

This project explores the pandemic in Latin America and the MN Latinx diaspora.

Biblioteca CLUES

An ongoing collection of online resources, readings and materials that students gathered for the Comunidades Latinas Unidas en Servicio (CLUES), to assist the non-profit organization with content creation.

Latinx Demographics

In this project, you’ll find the result of student research gathered in a Migration and Gender course.

Contenido CLUES

A collection of original essays based on student research topics. This content was created to address a request from the organization that will use that content across programs.
