Abstract

During the Spring 2022 semester, Claire Du Laney, Outreach Archivist at the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) Archives and Special Collections (ASC), worked with Dr. Brett Kyle and students in International Relations in Latin America (PSCI4280) to introduce political science students to primary source research.[1] Using the Lourdes Gouveia Papers (UNO-0234), students conducted archival research and incorporated those skills into their final projects.[2] The Lourdes Gouveia Papers are the research collection of Dr. Lourdes Gouveia, a UNO professor and founding director of the Office of Latino/Latin American Studies (OLLAS), who studied Latinx immigrants in the Nebraska meat-packing industry from 1988–2016. Areas of research within the collection include immigrant integration, the experiences of Latina women in migrant communities, social services available to Latinx families, and the ethical concerns around beef-packing labor.[3]
