Recent Latin American Elections: Left-Right Politics Today<\/span><\/h3>\n

Join us for a panel discussion on recent national elections across Latin America, and emerging regional trends in left-right politics. Speakers Mar\u00eda Fernanda Bozmoski (Atlantic Council) and Natasha Borges Sugiyama (UWM, Political Science) will discuss examples from Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Per\u00fa 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).<\/span><\/p>\n

Mar\u00eda Fernanda Bozmoski<\/strong> is Lead for Central America and Director of Impact and Operations at the Atlantic Council\u2019s Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center, where she leads the center\u2019s work on Mexico and Central America and supports the director with the center\u2019s operations. During her time at the Atlantic Council, she has co-led the center\u2019s Northern Triangle Task Force, helped shape the center\u2019s 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).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Natasha Borges Sugiyama <\/strong>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.<\/p>\n

Samantha Hagle <\/strong>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.<\/p>\n
