A collection of localized histories merged with present day realities in Pueblo, Colorado
Mission Statement
Mission Statement
With support from the Aztlán Research Center at Colorado State University in Pueblo, students in the Sociology of Pueblo course examined several historical events through the lens of race and ethnicity as it applies to Pueblo and southern Colorado, such as colonial relations, the borderlands, immigration, art and folklórico, labor, mental health, and more. In promoting a deep knowledge of the archive and the people’s history of our region, this class sought to connect students to the past, promote engagement, and establish community connections and relationships.
Below are the final digital multimedia research projects that students completed on a variety of Puebloan topics and historical events.
