Challenges in Health Care Services on the Border

Speaker Dr. John McKiernan-Gonzalez

When federal health authorities act in a place like Texas where people cross rivers, live, love, and work together and are a part of their communities and their nations, public health becomes a key site to understand and enact health and disease, citizenship and community, inclusion and exclusion.

Dr. McKiernan-González is the Director of the Center for the Study of the Southwest, the Jerome and Catherine Supple Professor of Southwestern Studies, and Associate Professor of History at Texas State University.

Juan Ochoa Author Reading

Author Juan Ochoa

Author Juan Ochoa

Join us in Starr Campus Library’s multipurpose room for this reading by STC faculty and author Juan Ochoa from his newest book. Pa’l Otro Lado, a prequel to Mariguano, spans five generations of violence and tragedy in the Cortina family while narrating their forced migration to the United States from Northern Mexico. It is the tale of every working-class family who has come to realize that “you just can’t win.” Hunger and poverty drive the characters in this novel to abandon all hopes of attaining the American Dream and to resign themselves simply to survive. P’al Otro Lado is full of the baddest hombres and the nastiest women we all know, love, and call family.

Event Title: “Juan Ochoa Author Reading”
Speaker: Professor Juan Ochoa
Dates: September 4th and 5th, 2024
