Join PanteraCartonera@Pitt and create your own cartonera! The Cartonera Publishing trend began in Buenos Aires in 2003 and was organized by writers and artists producing hand-made books at low-cost using recycled cardboard, (thus the name "cartonera"). The books are produced in a collective-circular way, in which authors become – designers become – publishers become – authors. The Cartonera phenomenon has expanded across the Americas, Europe, and Africa. Many have “recycled” the model, adapting it to their local contexts, communities, and social needs. Pantera Cartonera is a joint initiative between the Center for Latin American Studies and the University Library System

Panelist: Tim Bale, Queen Mary University of London, Jane Green, University of Oxford, Robert Ford, University of Manchester and Robert Johns, University of Essex
Moderator: Jae-Jae Spoon, University of Pittsburgh

David Blackmore presents “Censorship of Queer Books under the Brazilian Military Regime,” Watufani Poe presents “Adé-Dúdú: Lessons From Brazil's First Black Gay Organization.” Moderated by Daniel Balderston.

Professor Charles Kotuby Jr., Professor John C. Camillus, Professor Kish Parella, Benjamin Longlet, Wendy Miles QC, Professor Matthew Murray, Jo Anne Schendingen, Professor Bopaya Bidanda, Kristi Gedid, Professor John Lipinski, Mukesh Rustagi will present on the Environmental, Social, and Governance factors that increasingly drive corporate decision-making and foreign investment. This has become especially true this past year, with the onset of geopolitical crises in Ukraine, Afghanistan, and Myanmar. Foreign investment decisions are not only driven by the binary distinction of profit on the one hand or sanctions on the other. Ethical concerns and the reputational risk of investing in spe- cific jurisdictions and industry sectors are readjusting global business priorities. The complexity and interaction of these considerations with other areas of stakeholder engagement are one of the main challenges to multinational corporations and their inside and outside counsel. This conference will provide a forum for discussing these considerations, especially as they relate to the complex legal and operational issues raised by conflict situations.
