Featuring: 

The logistics of preliminary field work have always been challenging. From finding appropriate interlocutors to accessing archives, the process of conducting field work can be fraught with both known and unpredictable challenges. The pandemic has only exacerbated these challenges, at home and abroad. But it has also presented opportunities for students to integrate new approaches and technologies into their scholarship. We will present an inter-university panel of students who will discuss the following questions, among others:

Join the Sawyer Seminar for a conversation with Mauricio Tenorio Trillo on presence, absence, irony, and Mexico City’s monumental landscape. Monuments seek to conquer future views of history. Their massive material existence, as part of social and memory tissues of cities, made monuments a real “avanzada” in the future. Sometimes monuments do manage, to a certain extent, to conquer the future, not necessary as history but as space.

Join our friends at Tulane’s Latin American Library as they host a colloquium series featuring faculty whose research considers relationships between Latin America and New Orleans. On Friday April 8, Yuri Herrera-Gutiérrez Professor of Spanish will present on his novel-in-progress: “Juárez en Nueva Orleans. La ficción hecha de fragmentos de verdad.”

This talk will be in Spanish and hosted in the Latin American Library Seminar Room.
