In this episode we feature projects by LTS 3012 students Edith Valerio, Roxanna Escamilla, and Nina Rodas and LTS 1003 student Michelle Kozinets.
First we will hear from Edith who speaks about the struggles of being both a full time student and a full time worker. Edith herself identifies as both of these things and wanted to explore the effects of doing both on the mental, emotional, and physical health of students who are also full time employees.
This will be followed by Michelle’s exploration of mental health awareness and treatment for women in Latin America. She considers how physical issues such as gender-based violence and varying degrees of abortion access can lead to mental health issues.
The third segment features Roxanna Escamilla who discusses issues related to Latina body image. She investigates the struggles and pressure that Latinas face to live up to certain body image standards and the effects of the family and media on those insecurities.
We will wrap up this episode with Nina’s exploration of Latinas who do not speak Spanish. She argues that just because someone does not speak Spanish, it doesn’t make them any less Latina. She elaborates on some of the other ways in which people can participate in culture beyond language.
