NYU Liberal Studies Presents the “Afro-Latinidad in the African Diaspora” Panel

NYU Liberal Studies continues its inaugural month-long series, “Black History Month 2019: The Black Experience in America," with its second panel titled, "Afro-Latinidad in the African Diaspora." The Feb 12th panelists include Jillian Báez, Will Guzmán, Adedamola Osinulu and Donavan Ramon.

With the onset of globalization and the consistent flow of people from Latin America to the United States, Afro-Latinx identity has gained visibility in public discourse. In turn, Black communities revisit the questions of diaspora, race and Latinidad in the Americas. Dr. Guzmán, Dr. Báez, Dr. Osinulu and Dr. Ramon will discuss the intersections and emergence of Afro-Latinidad in the US and Latin America, and the complex meanings of identity and belonging in metropolises like New York City.

**Free and open to the public. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. RSVP here.**
