In this week’s episode of Within the Margins, we explored Hispanic representation at Emory and in the greater Atlanta area. The Hispanic student population makes up the second-smallest ethnic demographic at Emory and are typically clumped together under that overarching umbrella. What's it like adjusting to Emory and Atlanta as a Hispanic student? What can student Hispanic/Latinx organizations/spaces do to make spaces more inclusive? How can Emory work to prevent future misrepresentation?
We sat down with Wheel Editorial Board member Sara Perez (24C) and Amy Herrera (25C) to discuss intersectional identities, Emory’s treatment of Hispanic students, the monolith myth and more.
