- GRADUATE MINOR IN LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES
The
graduate minor in Latin American Studies will require the student to complete
12 graduate hours; 8 of the hours must be at the 500-level.
Area
Coursework: A minimum of 8 graduate hours at the 400/500-level from courses in
two different departments approved by CLACS every semester.
The
Center updates and posts approved courses in our website and announce them
through our listserv. Our Center has approximately 104 faculty affiliated from
different departments in campus, and we approve their courses as part of our
curriculum. The Center will record the approved courses on a master list to be
kept in the unit that will be used to certify that students took approved
courses during their studies in the minor.
Language
Component: At least 4 hours in language coursework taken in any Latin American
language (Portuguese, Spanish or Native American Language or Haitian Creole)
while enrolled in the Graduate Minor program. In the case that not enough or
advance language courses are offered, The Center also accepts as equivalent
area courses taught in these languages, i.e. literature class taught in
Portuguese or Spanish. If the chosen language course is at the 400-or 500 level
it may count towards the required 12 hours for Graduate Minor. We anticipate
that students registering in the Minor already have knowledge of Latin American
language. If the Student's Master's thesis or doctoral dissertation deals with
a country from Latin America and the Caribbean, we advise students in this
minor to speak with their advisor about including a committee member from the
minor area. We recommend that the courses taken for the minor not be
applied to course requirements in the students' Master's or PhD program

PARTICIPATION
IN PRODUCTIVE ACTIVITIES AND HEALTH OUTCOMES AMONG BRAZILIANS ADULTS
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22
101 International Studies Building
2pm
This
talk focuses on the role of employment and health disparities in Brazil. I will
compare the self-reported health outcomes of individuals who were employed,
unemployed, and non-economically active and explore the age and gender
differences. I seek to demonstrate the health disparities by employment status
among Brazilian adults.

PERSISTENT INEQUALITIES AND A NEW ERA. JUSTIFICATION OF
PRIVILEGES IN THE SALAVADORIAN UPPER-MIDDLE CLASS
My
concern is about the new aspects of social inequalities in contemporary El
Salvador, especially considering the way they are modeled by everyday
practices. Currently, El Salvador is characterized by the primacy of neoliberal
accumulation model, the rise of an unprecedented democracy, a reconcentration
of capital, the persistence of deep inequalities, increased social violence and
migration. In this context, a “globalized” Salvadoran middle class has emerged.
Studying this group allows us to learn new facets of the neoliberal capitalism
in El Salvador, and to identify changes in everyday experiences on
socioeconomic inequalities.
Two
topics will be analyzed: a) the emergence of the “global” middle class in the
Salvadoran contemporary context, and b) everyday experience of violence in the
“global” middle class and their coping strategies. This analysis will explore
how everyday practices could reproduce or challenge inequalities. The
discourses and strategies against violence can generate (or subvert) social and
symbolic boundaries toward other social segments, especially the lower classes.
Irene Lungo Rodríguez is a PhD candidate in
sociology from the El Colegio de México . She holds a MA in Social
Sciences in FLACSO-México and a degree in Social Anthropology from the
University of San Carlos in Guatemala.

TRANSGENERATIONAL ILLEGALITY: THE MEXICAN REPATRIATION PROGRAM
& BANISHMENT OF U.S. CITIZENS
Family
storytelling has been at the core of Mexican families for generations and
banishment, or as generally known “repatriation,” stories have been passed down
over nearly ninety years since the early 1920s banishments of U.S. citizens of
Mexican descent. The repatriation records in the early 1900s accounted for over
one million Mexicans; a startling sixty percent were U.S. citizen children.
Trinidad Rodríguez became one of 600,000 U.S. citizen children
unconstitutionally banished from her home country as a result of the
repatriation efforts of the Great Depression. This paper focuses on the
Rodríguez Molina family, participating oral history interviewees include the
son, daughter-in-law, and grandson of a now deceased, Trinidad Rodríguez. My
study found that many U.S. returnees and their descendants’ continued struggles
to belong in their ancestor’s homeland represent a transgenerational illegality
that has been nearly impossible to shake.

CONFERENCES/CALL
FOR PAPERS
- LATIN AMERICA IN TRANSLATION SERIES – CALL FOR PROPOSALS
In the
English-speaking world, Latin Americans are more often written about than
read. As a result, the educated public in the United States continues to
learn most of what it does know about the region from Latin Americanists who
are themselves foreigners to the national realities they study. Since October
1990, the UNC and Duke Consortium in Latin American and Caribbean Studies has
undertaken an effort to address this imbalance by establishing an ongoing
editorial series, “Latin America in Translation/En Traducción/Em Tradução.”
The Latin America
in Translation Series is a joint initiative of the UNC and Duke Consortium,
Duke University Press (DUP), and the University of North Carolina Press (UNCP)
and is directed by an editorial committee of faculty members and editors from
the three sponsoring institutions. Since 1993, more than 40 books have been
published in the series with more forthcoming regularly.
The UNC-Duke
Consortium is pleased to announce the 2015 Call for Proposals
Deadline of October
16, 2015.
Detailed nomination instructions, as well as a link to the new nomination form,
