SUMMARY:Venezuela: An International Standoff
DESCRIPTION:Space Limited!\nIf tickets are sold out\, please contact Amanda Jolly\, Program Director\, at ajolly@ctwac.org or (860) 241-6118 to be added to the wait-list.\nRecently Venezuela has dominated the headlines and the international stage. Countries are choosing sides\, protests are raging\, humanitarian health crises are piling up\, and there is no definitive end in sight. Join us and Dr. Alejandro Velasco\, a professor and historian of modern Latin America at NYU Gallatin\, as we explore what happened in Venezuela and what the future holds for the South American country. \n  \nFeaturing: \n \nAlejandro Velasco is a historian of modern Latin America whose research and teaching interests are in the areas of social movements\, urban culture and democratization. His book\, Barrio Rising: Urban Popular Politics and the Making of Modern Venezuela (University of California Press\, 2015)\, couples archival and ethnographic research to examine how residents of Venezuela’s largest public housing community pursued full citizenship during the heyday of Latin America’s once-model democracy. \nBefore joining the Gallatin faculty\, Professor Velasco taught at Hampshire College\, where he was a Five College Fellow\, and at Duke University. His teaching record includes interdisciplinary courses on contemporary Latin America\, including seminars on human rights\, cultural studies\, and urban social movements; historical methods courses on 20th-century revolutions; graduate history courses on urban political history and workshops with primary and secondary school educators. Professor Velasco’s research has won major funding support from the Social Science Research Council\, the American Historical Association\, the Ford Foundation\, and the Mellon Foundation\, among others\, and he has presented widely at both national and international conferences and symposia.
