Join us for a sneak preview to launch this year’s Latino & Iberian Film Festival at Yale (LIFFY) with a screening of As We Are, a documentary that defines how Peruvian society is nowadays and for a conversation about Peruvian Society today, 200 years after becoming a Republic.
The film talks about how the Peruvian national soccer team made it to the 2018 world cup after 36 years of absence. In that context, it mentions the identity of a whole nation and their strength to resist and overcome their difficulties. It’s an exciting look at how it feels to be Peruvian.
A presentation by and discussion with Yale Latin American Studies Alum, Micah Landau. Landau is a writer on labor and politics and also a labor organizer.
Virtual: Panel discussion with Speakers: Francisco Galarte at University of Arizona; Linda Heidenrich at Washington State University; and Larry La Fountaine-Stokes at University of Michigan
LIFFY strives to promote cultural awareness, mutual understanding, and unity among people of different backgrounds. It carries out this mission by showing films that share the stories and perspectives of people from the diverse countries, languages, and cultures of Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula.
All films presented at LIFFY are shown in their original languages with English subtitles. LIFFY screenings are presented free of charge and are open to all members of the Yale and greater New Haven community.
Scholars, writers, and policymakers from Shakespeare to Obama have noted linkages between the physical environment and human behavior toward one another. Professor Burke synthesizes a growing cottage industry of research that seeks to quantitatively measure how changes in climate can affect various types of human conflict. He re-analyzes dozens of individual studies using a common empirical framework and uses Bayesian techniques to study whether – and why – effect sizes differ across settings.
Drawn from Imperial Intimacies, A Tale of Two Islands, the lecture will discuss how Professor Hazel Carby employed the insights of Stuart Hall into the nature of identities “as stories we tell ourselves,” and systems of recognition that we adopt, to trace the role of visual culture in creation of British imperial subjects and subjectivity.
It is possible to identify gendered disadvantage at almost every point in a migrant woman’s journey, physical and legal, from country of origin to country of destination, from admission to naturalization. Rules which explicitly distribute migration opportunities differently on the grounds of sex/gender, such as prohibitions on certain women’s emigration, may produce such disadvantage. Women may also, however, be disadvantaged by facially gender-neutral rules.
Dr. Bahar will present a comprehensive study on the dynamics of knowledge production and diffusion linked to global mobile inventors (GMIs). Together with his co-authors, Dr Bahar finds that GMIs are essential team members of the first few patents in technology classes new to the country of residence as compared to patents filed at later stages. They interpret these results as tangible evidence of GMIs facilitating the technology-specific diffusion of knowledge across nations.
