Are you interested in all things Latinx? Help spread the word about the new Latinx Visions Podcast, hosted by Black and Latino Studies Professors Rojo Robles Mejias and Rebecca Salois. The podcast looks at Latinx culture, arts, media, literature, TV, film, and more, with a focus in the first season on Latinas. Listen to the introductory episode here or subscribe on Apple, Spotify, or Stitcher.
Both professors are alumni of the CUNY Graduate Center’s PhD program in Latin American, Iberian, and Latino Cultures (LAILAC).
The podcast’s first season will focus on Latinas, with forthcoming episodes examining Elizabeth Acevedo’s novel in verse, Clap When You Land; the film Mosquita y Mari; the Netflix show One Day at a Time; and Karla Cornejo Villavicencio’s The Undocumented Americans, which was a National Book Award finalist and one of Obama’s favorite books from last year. (Cornejo Villavicencio is also a writer-in-residence this year at Baruch.) Another episode will also look at the grassroots organization Mixteca.
