Colombia atraviesa uno de los momentos más críticos de su historia reciente. Una serie de protestas multitudinarias que lleva más de dos semanas han creado caos en varias ciudades. El gatillo de la situación actual fue el anuncio de una reforma fiscal que el gobierno presentó al congreso. A pesar de haber retirado la propuesta y renunciado el ministro de Hacienda, las confrontaciones no han cesado. Este panel propone analizar la problemática colombiana desde perspectivas social, política y económica.
Moderado por:
¨ Lucia Dammert, Universidad de Santiago de Chile
Con:
¨ Marla Ripoll, University of Pittsburgh
¨ Miguel García, Universidad de los Andes
¨ Fabio López de la Roche, Universidad Nacional de Colombia
¨ Jorge Enrique Delgado, University of Pittsburgh
Este evento se llevará a cabo en español—Para más información, email: clas@pitt.edu. |

This series came out of a discussion about what it means to have a given name – names say a lot about who we are, or does it?
Can names create subconscious bias? What is the history of our given name? Does the region where our name is most popular impact how we are perceived? How do social status and laws affect our name? Why is it so challenging to ask someone how their name is pronounced?
This series aims to open a doorway to exploring issues that affect us every day, and that, ultimately, reverberate through the most intimate aspects of who we are. While we will explore basic tools and name etiquette, with the kindness and respect we all deserve, we intend to reflect on what our names say about us, and how they may be used to define who we are. Please join our exploration of a crucial topic seldom discussed.
