In 1980, the University of Notre Dame became the first major university to boycott Campbell Soup products in support of Midwestern farmworkers represented by the Farm Labor Organizing Committee (Toledo, Ohio). In a few short months, a small and dedicated cohort of students tapped into a growing movement and convinced the campus to act in solidarity. This exhibit was created in conjunction with Somos ND, a campus-wide initiative to honor the history and legacy of Latino and Hispanic contributions to the University. It is curated by Emiliano Aguilar, assistant professor in the Department of History. This and other exhibits within the Hesburgh Libraries are generously supported by the McBrien Special Collections Endowment. All exhibits are free and open to the public during business hours.Open to undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, staff, postdocs, the public, alumni, and friends  

The Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies will launch the following two books in the Liu Institute Series in Chinese Christianities published by Notre Dame Press. Join us  for a discussion with Justin Tse, Singapore Management University, author of "Sheets of Scattered Sand: Cantonese Protestants and the Secular Dream of the Pacific Rim," (November 2024) and Jin Lu, Purdue University Northwest, author of "Translingual Catholics: Chinese Theologians before Vatican II," (February 2025). Liu Institute faculty fellow Xueying Wang, assistant professor of theology, will moderate the event. Christianity is the fastest-growing religion in mainland China and a large, linguistically and culturally diverse Chinese diaspora, which encompasses more than a fifth of the world’s population. Still, the academic world has been slow to take into account the role of Chinese Christians and their distinctly Chinese interpretation of Christianity in examining world Christianity. The Liu Institute Series in Chinese  Christianities features titles that offer new perspectives on the vast and expanding field of Chinese Christianities in all their diverse forms, providing a forum for cross-disciplinary conversation. The event is free and open to the public. Sponsored by the Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies, Notre Dame Press, Ansari Institute for Global Engagement with Religion, and the Department of Theology. Originally published at asia.nd.edu.
