Mellon-ISLA Latino Politics Workshop

Along with Christopher Weaver, PhD student in the Department of Political Science, I co-organize the Latino Politics Workshop funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Institute for Scholarship in the Liberal Arts, the Institute for Latino Studies, and the Rooney Center for the Study of American Democracy. This workshop includes a speaker series with experts on the political behavior of Latinos in the U.S., and topics such as immigration, religion and the role of the Catholic Church:
