In this episode, we feature projects by LTS 1003 students Leah Garcia and Kevin Lopez, LTS 3100 student Nelson Tavares, and LTS 3012 Student Tatiana Perez.
First up will be Leah and Kevin’s episode which considers Latino representation in television and film. They argue that the Latino stereotypes we see on TV misrepresent the community as a whole by perpetuating harmful and inaccurate generalizations, which lead to discriminatory treatment of them in society.
This will be followed by Nelson Tavares’s interview with his wife, Sabrina about her experiences with cultural assimilation as a Dominican American woman. He draws parallels between these experiences and “Abuela’s Greatest Gift” by Janel Martinez and Harvest of Empire by Juan Gonzalez.
Finally we will wrap up with an episode by Tatiana Perez, who explores the topic of Latina owned small businesses in the US. Tatiana looks at the ways in which these businesses can help strengthen communities and build intergenerational wealth.
