NVC Honors Students Explore Mestizaje at Mission San José
November 2, 2026
Dr. Corina Gonzales-Stout recently took her Honors History 1301 class to Mission San José, where students continued exploring the theme of mestizaje and its importance in San Antonio’s culture. Earlier this year, students toured the Bexar County Clerk’s Spanish Archives as part of a research project examining an aspect of mestizaje in American history through 1877.
