Description:

Join the Latin American and Caribbean Studies Program as our very own Roberto Rosado (Dept. of Anthropology) and Caroline de Lima e Silva (Dept. of Political Science) present their latest research projects. Light refreshments will be provided.

Roberto Rosado will present part of his ongoing research on how people engage with the ancient Mayan ruins that inhabit a small rural community in Yucatan, Mexico. For this talk, he will focus on the relations that hacienda owners, foreign explorers, and local people established with those ruins during the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Caroline de Lima e Silva will present her current project titled “Impact of International Courts on the Ground: Building a Theory of Political Sensitive Issue-Areas Judged by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR)”.
