Latino Conservatives: Right Wing Aesthetics and Representative Claims

Event Details

CRISTINA BELTRAN is associate professor of social and cultural analysis at New York University, and author of The Trouble with Unity: Latino Politics and the Creation of Identity. Her research centers on the intersection of Latino politics and political theory. Her current project (provisionally titled Latino Conservatives: Racial Shame, Racial Success, and the Politics of Transformation) is an exploration of how Latino conservative thought is shaped not only by ideology but through a potent combination of emotion, expression, and aesthetics. Beltran's work has appeared in Political Theory, Aztlan: A Journal of Chicano Studies, Political Research Quarterly, and various edited volumes.

Lunch will be served. RSVP required by noon on Wednesday, February 26 to mc-reservations@eservices.virginia.edu.
