Contested Spaces and Boundaries: The Legacy of the U.S.-Mexico Treaty of Gudalupe Hidalgo
In early 19th century, growing diplomatic conflicts between Mexico, newly independent from Spain, and the United States over its westward expansion into Texas and the territory of Alta California, led to the Mexican American war from 1846 to 1848. Peace negotiations ended hostilities, first in Alta California with the Treaty of La Cahuenga, and then in 1848 with the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo. By its terms, Mexico ceded half of its territory to the U.S, including present-day states of California, the American Southwest, and Texas, and recognized a two-thousand mile boundary separating the two nations at the Rio Grande. The 1848 treaty left indelible marks on the landscape, cultures and politics on both sides of the new border and especially impacted Mexican citizens and Indigenous people who found themselves living in a new country almost overnight. This exhibit features rare books, photographs, maps, a first edition of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, and contemporary artists’ books from the USC Libraries’ Boeckmann Center for Iberian and Latin American Studies, and Special Collections.

Intro to User Experience Design & Testing
Learn the basics of User Experience Design (UX) and Testing, including a brief look at the history and context of the practice. Attendees will get to meet other polymaths and receive a comprehensive demonstration with key lessons on UX practices, including how to structure professional user testing sessions.<br />
<br />
User Experience Design is an all-encompassing methodology where research, data gathering, and test results guide decisions, instead of guesses and opinions. Particularly useful for students who will create user-facing products, this workshop will introduce essential ideas and demonstrate universal practices for UX design as it is used in the software development, video game, and product design industries.<br />
<br />
Join us at the Ahmanson Lab for a lesson on User Experience Design and Testing that will welcome students of all backgrounds.<br />
