Speakers María Fernanda Bozmoski (Atlantic Council) and Natasha Borges Sugiyama (UWM\, Political Science) will discuss examples from Brazil\, Colombia\, Costa Rica\, and Perú and consider what these can tell us about hemispheric trends\, prospects for U.S. diplomacy\, and the state of democracy. The discussion will be moderated by Samantha Hagle (UWM\, Political Science). \nMaría Fernanda Bozmoski is Lead for Central America and Director of Impact and Operations at the Atlantic Council’s Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center\, where she leads the center’s work on Mexico and Central America and supports the director with the center’s operations. During her time at the Atlantic Council\, she has co-led the center’s Northern Triangle Task Force\, helped shape the center’s trade work\, and scheduled events in Asia for US policymakers. Bozmoski is a frequent commentator in several U.S. and regional outlets; originally from Costa Rica\, Bozmoski holds a BA in European studies (Sorbonne University\, France)\, an MA in Latin American studies and political economy (Georgetown University School of Foreign Service) and an MA in international law and human rights (United Nations University for Peace).  \nNatasha Borges Sugiyama is Professor of Political Science and Director of the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at UW-Milwaukee. Her research interests lie in Brazilian politics\, policy diffusion\, social sector reform\, comparative public policy\, and gender and politics. Here at UWM she teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in these areas; she holds a PhD in Government and a Master’s in Public Affairs from the University of Texas at Austin\, as well as a BA from Oberlin College. \nSamantha Hagle holds a PhD in Political Science from our very own UWM and is now Teaching Faculty in the same department. Her primary areas of specialization are comparative politics\, international relations\, human rights\, and ethnic studies. Her current research focuses on the political rights of Indigenous populations in Latin America\, and Indigenous rights in comparative political contexts more broadly. This work aims to bring previously marginalized perspectives to our political frameworks and explores the political implications and factors of minority inclusion in domestic laws. \n  \nPresented with UWM’s Department of World Languages and Cultures.
