The fifth Hispanic film series, "Global Migrations Through the Lens of International Politics and Human Rights," was launched last week with the first of five films from Spanish-speaking countries.

In this series, Elon College, the College of Arts and Sciences is shining the spotlight on distinguished members of the Class of 2021 from a wide array of disciplines.

The three webinars held during April covered a variety of topics.

Faculty and community members spoke of the legacy of grief and terror spawned by ongoing racial inequity and violence. Elon University must address its past and accelerate change for justice and equality, they said.

The symposium took place across four webinars this fall and was organized by faculty members from the Department of World Languages and Cultures.

The four virtual lectures by scholars and activists were coordinated by the Department of World Languages and Cultures, El Centro, and programs of Latin American Studies, Peace and Conflict Studies Program, International and Global Studies, and the Women's, Gender, and Sexualities Studies.

Blake, an assistant professor in the Department of Political Science and Policy Studies, examined the challenges that researchers of violence face as they collect fieldwork data in Caribbean, South and Central American countries.

Serrano will lead a workshop about immigration law and participate in a screening and question-and-answer session about the documentary "Forbidden: Undocumented and Queer in Rural America."

Sandy Marshall, assistant professor of geography, was selected as the 2020-22 CSRCS Scholar to support his development of community-based research and multimedia projects.
