Week 13: Towards an Uncertain Future

Posted by: feedwordpress

Being at the end of the course, gives me a feeling of new beginnings. New beginnings because we have learned so much but still have so much more to learn. We learned a myriad of historical moments, from the figurative language of Columbus upon first contact with the new world, to the emerging new forms […] read full post >>

Week 13: Towards an Uncertain Future

Posted by: feedwordpress

Well, here we are. The last week of blogs. It seemed so far away when I first started writing the first blog. This course has been fascinating and I really enjoyed learning about the history and depth that Latin America has. With regard to the readings this week, I find them to be very formalContinue reading "Week 13: Towards an Uncertain Future" read full post >>

Week:13

For my final course for this course ( although I know I am posting this a bit late), first I want to talk about the documents in Dawson’s text and then talk about the course as a whole.

This last post is a little personal, but I thought it would be a nice way to finish off my last blog post for this course! I thought it would be interesting to incorporate some of the voices of my friends and family who have been very vocal about the difference between living in Mexico […] read full post >>

The video speaks about the “left turns” and is optimistic, however, nowadays this optimism feels misplaced. In 2016 under aContinue reading "Week 13: Towards an Uncertain Future" read full post >>

Week 13 – “Towards an Uncertain Future”

Posted by: feedwordpress

Max Cameron talked about the “democratic experimentation” that is happening in Latin America today, largely as a byproduct of the USA withdrawing from policing the region (coups are more so a thing of the Cold War at this point). One of takeaways I got from this is that the biggest threat to democracy in Latin […] read full post >>

Week 13: Towards an Uncertain Future

Posted by: feedwordpress

For this week’s blog “Towards an Uncertain Future”, instead of writing about and analyzing the readings from Alexander Dawson’s texts, I’m choosing to focus on a conversation with Max Cameron, a Political Science professor at UBC, from a clip called The Left Turns. In this video, Cameron touches base on many issues (his examples particularlyContinue reading "Week 13: Towards an Uncertain Future" read full post >>
