In this episode, Voc/zes has not one, but TWO feature interviews! The first interview features two seniors from Eagan High School. Both students participate in the College in the Schools program, and take spanish classes at the University of Minnesota. As Mexican Americans, they discuss the Latino community, their cultural heritage, and American privilege.

Next, we’ll hear from our very own Dr. Ana Forcinito, una profesora de español aquí en el departamento de español y portugués! She discusses her research related to post-dictatorship society in the Southern Cone (Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, and parts of Brazil). She talks about how she hopes to find justice, in response to the forced disappearance of people during the dictatorships that rocked these regions in the 20th century.

Be sure to tune in to hear about an upcoming exhibit coming to the Regis Center for Art from November 8-18 by Argentine photographer, Gustavo Germano. His exhibit, Ausencias, features side by side photos comparing pre-dictatorship society in the Southern Cone with photos taken in the present day.
