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.

Please join us March 15 at noon for a talk on Political Ecology Across Latin America.

Dr. Merlinsky is the Richard E. Greenleaf Distinguished Chair in Latin American Studies. Her book, "Toda Ecología es Política" speaks to the devastation of ecosystems and environments, and in particular the resulting inequality and the challenge that represents to our common destiny and transformative research.

Tulane's Dr. Leguizamon will give a brief introduction, followed by a talk by Dr. Merlinsky, and ending with a Q&A.
