Experiential Session Playing Millenial Gen Z Loteria

This roundtable will be an experiential session at this year's AAR. Session participants would play a few rounds of the game Millenial Loteria Gen X Edition (https://millennialloteria.com/products/millennial-loteria-gen-z-edition). The original loteria is a game played at churches in San Antonio and other areas of the Mexico/USA Borderlands for fundraising and in homes, especially on holidays. After about 45 minutes of game play, conversation starters will speak for 5 to 7 minutes each and may cover topics like anti-blackness of the original version or stagnation and stereotyping from such a game, etc. Neomi De Anda will begin the conversation with a focus on "La Spilling the Tea" where she has been doing much theoretical work and connecting that to religion as well as queer people of color culture.
