Puerto Ricans at the Fault Lines

The Dresher Center for the Humanities, in partnership with the Latinx and Hispanic Faculty Association, presents:

Yarimar Bonilla, Professor of Africana, Puerto Rican, and Latino Studies and Director of the Center for Puerto Rican Studies, Hunter College; and Professor of Anthropology, Graduate Center, City University of New York

In conversation with Fernando Tormos-Aponte, Assistant Professor, School of Public Policy, UMBC

This event features a conversation between Yarimar Bonilla, one of the foremost scholars on Puerto Rico and the Caribbean, and UMBC’s Fernando Tormos-Aponte. They will share ideas on the social and political aftermath of Hurricane María, how Puerto Ricans have come to deal with their political history under US colonial rule, and how social movements in Puerto Rico imagine and enact an anti-colonial future.

Sponsored by the Latinx and Hispanic Faculty Association; the Dresher Center for the Humanities; and the School of Public Policy.
