Our next speaker,  Macarena Gomez-Barris will be speaking specifically on Chile, Memory, Latin-American Studies, extractive capitalism, and new ways to think anthropologically.

 Macarena was a professor of American Studies and ethnicity at The University of Southern California, where she also attained her Ph.D. She has published multiple books centric to her field of study including “Where Memory Dwells: Culture and State Violence in Chile”. Macarena now teaches on social and cultural theory, comparative indigeneity, decolonial theory, and Latin American cultural thought.  And she also has recently joined the Department of Social Science and Cultural Studies at Pratt as its new Chair, and is very enthusiastic about what's to come.
