Challenging the Narratives of Immigration: Building Solidarity Through Latina Community Media
The presentation will discuss several U.S. Latina/o community media outlets and the ways in which they operate as local change-agents and venues for “testimonios” that are challenging the dominant narratives about immigration and commercial latinidades. It will demonstrate through the framework of media justice how Latina/o community media are creating spaces for invisible voices in the growing digital landscape; offering opportunities to become “citizen” media makers; and rethinking notions of journalistic storytelling.

Friday, November 9th at 1:30pm in M101 McGraw Hall. The series entitled “Dreamers and Nostalgic Sovereignty” was organized by Professors Mary Pat Brady of the English Department and Veronica Martinez-Matsuda of ILR

We will meet in the American Studies Conference room, M101F McGraw Hall. Lunch will be provided. Please rsvp to Darla (ddm1@cornell.edu) by 11/6,
