Fall 2019 Colloquium

This past Thursday, October 30, the department hosted Dr. María Josefina Saldaña-Portillo from NYU for our semester colloquium!

Dr. Saldaña-Portillo's talk, entitled "What is the Time of the Decolonial? Who Speaks for the Dispossessed? Roma and the White Settler Colonial Paradigm," discussed Alfonso Cuarón's 2018 film, exploring dynamics of colonialism and decoloniality, politics and power, spiral time, the film's use of sound, and the depiction of the film's central character, Cleo.
