Charla de Merienda Podcast Ep. 2 - LatinX Bodies and COVID-19

Episode Summary:

In light of current restrictions on gatherings, Charla de Merienda has been made available as a podcast. For those who are new to new to the platform, CdM is a joint production of Lawerence Talks, Inc and The Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at KU. For our first podcast production, we explore the topic of marginalized bodies in relation to COVID-19 and the policies passed in response to it. Not all bodies are affected the same in terms of health, politics, and economics. While much of the narrative so far has been concerned with discussions of “going back to normal”, there is another conversation being had about whether going back to normal is not the preferred outcome for everyone.

Episode Notes:

To help us navigate these issues, we sit down with three KU Scholars:

Araceli Masterson-Algar | Associate Professor | Portuguese and Spanish | University of Kansas

Sylvia Fernández Quintanilla, Ph.D. | Public and Digital Humanities Postdoctoral Research Fellow | Hall Center for the Humanities | University of Kansas

Hannah Soyer | MFA in Creative Writing | University of Kansas
