The Spanish & Portuguese department of Tulane University in collaboration with the Language & Literature department of the University of New Orleans will be hosting a book presentation event about "Bios precario. Cultura y precariedad en Latinoamérica" by Martín de Mauro Rucovsky, who is from CONICET, Argentina. The presentation will be conducted in Spanish. 

Argentina’s 2023 executive and legislative elections took place in a context marked by years of weak economic performance and recent spikes in high inflation. In this context, the primaries leading to the elections exposed a three-way race that broke traditional political cleavages and raised multiple questions and debates.

Join the Spanish and Portuguese Department for a weekly Portuguese language meet-up! All language levels are welcome and participants will have the opportunity to engage in informal conversation. New mousse desserts will also be provided every week. If it is raining, the event will be held at the Language Learning Center located in Newcomb Hall room 408. Please reach out to portuguese@tulane.edu if you have any questions.
