A WORKSHOP AT SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY

December 5, 2016, 9am-6:30pm

After two decades of ascendancy across Latin America, left-wing parties and movements are in retreat. Electoral defeats, corruption scandals, and economic crisis have put paid to what once seemed a Utopian moment for progressive forces. This one-day workshop evaluates the ebbing “pink tide” and looks to the region’s future as the right-wing returns.

 With Jon Beasley-Murray (UBC), Max Cameron (UBC), Efe Can Gürcan (SFU), Alexander Dawson (SFU), Leslie Elliott Armijo (SFU), Renato Francisquini (Santa Catarina), Eric Hershberg (American U), Gerardo Muñoz (Princeton), Gerardo Otero (SFU), Fabio Resmini (UBC), Dominique Rumeau Castellazzi (UBC), Zaraí Toledo Orozco (UBC), Alejandro Velasco (NYU), and others.

Room 2050, SFU Harbour Centre, 515 W Hastings Street

The Latin America and the Global Network is pleased to invite you to the first event of the year. Join us Wednesday, December 7th from 3:00-4:30 at the Liu Institute’s Boardroom (3rd floor) to meet and talk to members of the network and a variety of UBC researchers from Latin America or who work on the region.

We will use this opportunity to know new students and faculty working at UBC and to reconnect with those that have arrived from the field. We believe an environment of dialogue is the best way to facilitate the cross pollination of ideas and creativethinking. Everyone welcome!

For catering purposes please RSVP to Juan Hernandez at j.hernandez@alumni.ubc.ca.
