Latin American Working Group Series , Nicole Hughes, Humanities Center Fellow, ILAC

Discussion with Nicole Hughes (Mellon Fellow, Stanford Humanities Center-ILAC)

Location: 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.
