A new series focuses on raising awareness of the issues and dynamics of Latin Americans and growing interest in this demographic.
Dr. Edward Brudney and Dr. Emma McDonell, with support from the anthropology and history department, hosted the virtual “Latin American Dialogue: You Are What You Wear” on Feb. 25.
The purpose of the Latin American Dialogue series according to McDonell, an assistant professor from the department of social, cultural, and justice studies, was to start a conversation at UTC about Latin American Studies.
“We’ve found that there’s a lot of interest on campus about Latin America, in part because a growing number of students at UTC are part of the larger Latin American diaspora, and we wanted to build energy and enthusiasm around this,” McDonell said.
