Student Special #3

Over the next two weeks we will be sharing podcast episodes that feature recordings our students created over the past year.

In this episode we feature projects by LTS 3110 student Jacqueline Ortiz and LTS 1003 students Abigail Garcia Vazquez, Arleth Robles, and Nina Rodas

First up is Jacqueline’s episode which considers, in her words, “blackness and whiteness and their role in creating and permeating through the Afro-diasporic ecology.” She analyzes Achille Membe’s book Critique of Black Reason and Arecelis Girmay’s essay “From Woe to Wonder” as part of her project.

This is followed by Abigail, Arleth, and Nina’s study on La Regla de Ocha, or Santeria. In particular they discuss how this Afro-Caribbean religion is represented in the media by looking at the song Aguanile, and season 2, episode 7 of the show She’s Gotta Have It.
