Rio Grande Valley Oral Histories

In this oral history interview conducted on June 5, 2026, in Harlingen, Texas, Nydia Tapia-Gonzales (b. 1962, Matamoros, Tamaulipas) reflects on her bicultural life along the U.S.–Mexico border and her long engagement with architecture, tourism, and historic preservation in the Rio Grande Valley.

Ethnic Studies Research Paper Award

This paper explores the movement of seed sovereignty, a contemporary movement stemming from the history of theft, appropriation, and forced assimilation endured by indigenous peoples.
