Holding it Together at the End of Term

Darrel Wanzer-Serrano and Ariana Ruiz meet up for a bit of a retrospective on 2019. They have a little podcast discussion about the podcast and the first semester of programming for Imagining Latinidades. They then ponder some of their favorite readings of the year so far and talk about how to productively (and unproductively) deal with end of term stress for students. The podcast will be on hiatus until we return with an interview with Iris Morales on January 14, 2020.

• The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation’s generous support through its Sawyer Seminar program allowed “Imagining Latinidades: Articulations of National Belonging” to launch at the University of Iowa. This podcast was born from the Sawyer Seminar and we hope it will continue on afterward.
• The Obermann Center for Advanced Studies, at Iowa, was the birthplace of our Seminar theme, which gave rise to this podcast.
