Kudos

presented

Rose Brougham, Victoria Calmes and Astrid Lorena Ochoa Campo, all Global Cultures & Languages, presented "Milongas in the Doorway: Borges's Para las seis cuerdas; ¿Una buena madre? Aspectos de la maternidad conflictiva en la película española Cinco lobitos; and Sospechosa por antonomasia: la figura de la mala madre en El Otro Tom de Laura Santullo" at XXXV Congreso Internacional de Literatura y Estudios Hispánicos on March 12 in Oaxaca, Mexico. These professors from the GCL department enriched the current conversations in Hispanic cultural studies with their presentations on poetry, music, narrative, and film depicting contemporary life in Latin America, Spain, and the U.S. southern border. Congratulations!
