Pittsburgh and Rio de Janeiro share similar histories of Black communities’ cultural resistances and struggles for rights. Hosted by the Center for Latin American Studies and the World History Center, the goal of this event is to discuss the ways in which the urban landscapes of both cities are shaped by difficult cartographies, especially when related to racism and slavery. We also aim to discuss how scholars and community activists can collaborate in building strategies to make the topic accessible to the public.

This area refers to how globalization affects people’s susceptibility to physical and mental illnesses, their access to appropriate kinds of care, and their general well being within the context of their community. Speakers include dedicated professionals within the fields of global health, public health, medicine, policy and advocacy.
