Student Special #1

This week and next, we will be bringing you podcasts that were created by our students in LTS 1003, LTS 3012, and LTS 3085.

In This Episode we feature projects by Emily Giler, Jalen Bailey and Naomi Ortiz, and Paulina Asuncion, Alexis Baker, and Katelin Caraballo 

First up is Emily’s project, which focuses on the representation of responsibility vs. happiness for Latinas in entertainment. Throughout her segment, she talks about the value of honest Latina representation in movies, books, and comics. 

Next, Jalen and Naomi speak on the film Gun Hill Road and the effects of Latino culture on LGBTQIA+ identifying youth. In particular they address how conflicts between these identities can potentially lead to negative consequences.

And finally, Paulina, Alexis, and Katelin talk about Nuyorican Identity. They discuss the history of the cultural and intellectual movement known as the Nuyorican Movement and the impact it has had on the Puerto Rican community within New York City.
