Episode 7: On the Borderlands

This episode features an interview with Nick, a Mexican American member of the church. Unable to fully claim either a Mexican or American identity, Nick describes living on the borderlands between LDS and mainstream culture, his “Mexican-ness” and “American-ness,” and his mother’s LDS heritage and his father’s Catholic heritage. PhD student Brandon Wilson and PhD candidate Stephanie Griswold discuss Nick’s story and the reality of living in isolation within one’s own community.
