Latin American Critical Cultural Studies Working Group

The Latin American Critical Cultural Studies Working Group focuses on Latin American Studies from a critical cultural perspective. We create a space for discussing humanities that are essential to the discourse surrounding Latin American democracies and development. Issues such as migration, poverty and inequality, civil and human rights, processes of modernization, collective memory, social movements, feminism, authoritarianism, and racial violence cannot be fully understood without considering their expressions in the arts and literature of the region.

Cochairs: Vanesa Miseres, Maria Rosa Olivera Williams and Magdalena López
