The Latin American and Caribbean Studies program releases on Thursday, April 25, its new podcast series Crossing Fronteras, which surveys the diverse ecosystem of contemporary scholarship and art being generated by scholars and creatives in New England who are working in Latin American and Caribbean Studies.
Co-hosted by WPI faculty members John Galante and Joe Aguilar, episodes in the series address topics such as knowledge production and technological adaptation in the Global South; trans activism and feminism in transnational perspective; indigenous perspectives on the cosmos and the capitalist state; and processes of cultural hybridization though migration and South-South relations.
Tune in to hear a fascinating set of conversations from thinkers and innovators from institutions including Brown University, MIT, Smith College, WPI, and more who are crossing boundaries and expanding the frontiers of Latin American and Caribbean Studies.
