Department of Latin American and Latina/o Studies Featured in IUPLR’s El Noticero Publication

John Jay’s Department of Latin American and Latina/o Studies, and its chairman, Professor Lisandro Pérez, are front-page news in the latest quarterly edition of El Noticiero, the newsletter of the Inter-University Program for Latino Research (IUPLR) – national consortium of 30 university-based research centers and departments.

Pérez is the subject of an in-depth Q&A interview in the newsletter, in which he discusses the evolution of Latina/o studies at John Jay, the College’s standing as a Hispanic-serving institution, and larger sociopolitical issues affecting Hispanics, among other topics.

In April 2015, faculty members from the Department of Latin American and Latina/o Studies and selected students will play prominent roles in the annual IUPLR conference, to be held at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind.
