When thinking of German businesses, we usually mean West German ones. To add nuance to this perspective, this event will focus on two successful East German companies that had to restart after 1989 when Communism fell and the German government privatized thousands of companies.

Through this discussion, we hope to shed light on the devastating effects of the war in Ukraine as the conflict erases the nations' sense of identity in the public realm- the cities, villages, streets, parks, and other spaces that help define the life of a place and its people. Presented by Dr. Sofia Dyak.

The Center for Latin American Studies at the University of Pittsburgh is thrilled to welcome back students, staff, and the Pittsburgh community for the 40th Annual Latin American and Caribbean Festival!

The Festival has had many years of success and every year it seems to improve in the number and quality of groups that participate and the scope of media coverage. As the Latino and Hispanic population in Pittsburgh continues to grow, it makes the Festival one of the largest gatherings of Latinos in Western Pennsylvania. The mission of the festival is to showcase the cultures of Latin America in Pittsburgh and to inform the students and the general public of the resources that can be found in Pittsburgh.
