In this episode we feature projects by LTS 3059 student John Avila, LTS 1003 students Daisy Ho and Jaydin Mohan, and LTS 3012 student Kevin Calixto.
John’s research focuses on family building and economic stability for Latinx workers. He uses the novel Chingada by Rigoberto Gonzalez and Estamos Aqui: Poems by Migrant Farm Workers to guide his discussion.
Daisy takes a different approach to her project and considers the implementation of the carbon tax in Chile. She discusses the effects of climate change in Latin America and the response to Chile being the first country in Latin America to enforce a carbon tax on corporations.
Jaydin dives into Latine stereotypes found in pop-culture. She speaks to the importance of breaking racial and ethnic stereotypes and dives into the history of Latinx representation throughout the 20th century and into the 21st century.
And to wrap up this week’s podcast episode, Kevin considers the influence of Latinas in film and the importance of diverse representation. In particular he considers the lack of Afro-Latina representation in the media and how that affects the ways in which audiences perceive latinidad.
