Student Special #2

In this week's Student Special we share projects by LTS 3012 students Maritza Cintron and Kelly Heeralall and LTS 1003 students Karla Alberto and Genesis Ramos. 

Maritza and Kelly’s project considers Latina stereotypes, especially those around the hyper-sexualization of Latinas, dual identities, and machismo. As part of their episode, they referenced some of the works of literature we read in class during the semester including Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo, Don’t Ask Me Where I’m From by Jennifer De Leon, “How to Leave Hialeah” by Jennine Capó Crucet, and Once I Was You by Maria Hinojosa.

Genesis and Karla’s project also looks at women, but under very different circumstances. They study the Trujillo dictatorship in the Dominican Republic and investigate the treatment of women at that time both by the dictator himself and men in general. 

Both projects consider the treatment of women and question what can be done to change these historical precedents. We hope you enjoy them.
