Abstract
This session will focus on the differences of Latino nomenclature. Discussion topics include the differences between Spanish, Hispanic/Hispano, Latinos, Mexican-Americans, and Chicanos. The goals of this session are to (1) inform the public through group discussions of these sometimes misused or misinterpreted terms, (2) engage in an interactive discussion of the terms with the audience members, and (3) share cultural experiences dealing with these expressions.
