Why the name "Mexican, Latinx, Chicanx Academic Symposium"?
Yes, we know that the term Latinx includes Mexicans, however, this symposium has always been called "Mexican Academic Symposium" and keeping a bit of the same structure help us to give continuity to the previous work and to let the yearly participants know that this is the same symposium that have always attended.
What's the image in the flyer?
The image is the mural called "El hombre controlador del Universo" painted by Diego Rivera in the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City. At the center is the worker, the left side represents the capitalist world and the right side is an idealized view of a socialist society.
