the United States over the last 500 years. The emphasis of the Chicanx/Latinx Studies Department is on the experiences of Chicanx/Mexican-Americans and other Latinxs in the United States.The academic field of Chicanx/Latinx Studies owes its origin to the 1960s Chicanx/Mexican American civil rights movement, the Puerto Rican civil rights movement, and their efforts to open universities to Latinx students. The
Chicanx/Latinx Studies Department at Portland State University proudly stands in this tradition of university work committed to community improvement.The Chicanx/Latinx experience predates the mid-nineteenth century, when territories belonging to Mexico were occupied by the United States.

a nation, and in the course of this rich history, they have made significant contributions to every facet of U.S. society.
