Building 50, Room 51A

The Latin America Working Group (LAWG) is an interdisciplinary, discussion-based working group that focuses on the collaborative development of research questions and analysis grounded in Latin America as a concept and as a region, constituted as it is by a particular set of historical legacies arising from slavery and colonialism. The purpose of this workshop is to create a space for testing and thinking through ideas that expand upon, contradict, or otherwise respond to existing theories and theorists of Latin America. This quarter will highlight the work of fellow peers and professors whose research questions—addressed through art, social analysis, performance, ethnography, etc—engage in intellectual conversation with theorists of and from Latin America.

Our first Latin America Working Group session of Spring Quarter will take place next Monday, April 8 at 6 PM in Building 50, Room 51A. Please RSVP here.

As with previous quarters, this first meeting is meant to orient us around the quarter’s theme Memory, Decolonization, and the Environment

If there are any texts, films, or other forms of media that you all would like to discuss in relation to this theme, please reply to this email letting us know what they are!
