On March 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, The 2012 Tejas Foco Regional Conference of The NationalAssociation for Chicana and Chicano Studies (NACCS) convenes, like in years past, to celebrateand promote Chicana/o Studies. This year, Texas State University, San Marcos is fortunate tohost senior and junior scholars, writers, and artists from across Tejas as well as from beyond whohave come together to share their scholarship, art, and knowledge of our culture with each other,

the greater university community, and with the public. This years theme, This Is Us: Cmo NosVen, Cmo Nos Vemos / Changing Chican@ Identity in the 21st Century, has indeed drawn speakers and artists who address this theme from a wide variety of perspectives. The topicsbeing addressed at this years conference extend beyond the conference theme to include issuesimportant to us all during the early part of the 21st century. Besides live musical performancesand readings by fiction writers and poets, participants and members of the university and localcommunities will be able to enjoy a dance with Conjunto Aztln, from San Antonio, Tejas,performing. The scholarship of more than 200 conference participants in over 60 panel sessions,in the end, is what brings us together to celebrate the many perspectives which form the manyvaried aspects of who we are.The Tejas Foco conference begins on Thursday night, March 1st, in the LBJ Student Center'sBallroom with the screening of the impressive documentary film, Cundo te vere?, by LizColunga about the fate of many undocumented workers in the US who are separated from theirfamily members in Mexico. On Friday, March 2nd, the conference once again picks up at the LBJStudent Center with a morning plenary session featuring noted scholars. This session is thenfollowed by three concurrent sessions of panels, with a plenary luncheon in between. Theevening brings an awards ceremony and ends with a dance with Conjunto Aztln. On Saturdaymorning, March 3rd, the conference moves to Flowers Hall where participants will find a livemusical performance, a film screening, and many more panel sessions, ending with a reading bypoets & fiction writers honoring Texas State University Distinguished Alumnus Toms Rivera.
