Aarti Smith Madan on Argentinian intellectuals and Afro-Brazilian street art

Aarti Smith Madan (Worcester Polytechnic Institute), a scholar of Latin American literature and spatial humanities, maps the trajectory of her interests in nineteenth-century Argentine nation-builders, gauchos as literary subjects, and histories of South-South interactions through connections between Argentina and India. She also outlines her research on the manifestations of Afro-Brazilian consciousness in street art, artistic identity, and social media.
