Book Talk: Julie A. Dowling presents "Mexican Americans and the Question of Race"

February 6, 2015 The CSRC was pleased to welcome Julie A. Dowling, associate professor of Latina/Latino Studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Dowling has published articles on Latino racial identity construction and racial attitudes in a variety of journals. Her publications have received multiple accolades including the Distinguished Contribution to Research Award for “Best Article” from the Latino/a Sociology Section of the American Sociological Association. Dowling's book "Mexican Americans and the Question of Race" (UT Press, 2014), explores the disjuncture between federal definitions and regional constructions of race, examining Mexican American responses to the U.S. Census race question. Dowling is originally from Texas, the daughter of a Mexican American mother from the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas and an Irish American father from the Midwest. The Department of Sociology Race & Ethnicity Working Group Irene Flecknoe Ross Lecture Series is made possible by a gift from Ray Ross in the memory of his wife. This event was organized by the Department of Sociology Race & Ethnicity Working Group and cosponsored by the UCLA César E. Chavez Department of Chicana/o Studies and the CSRC.
