International & Global Studies

Commencement reception for International and Global Studies Seniors and their families.

Middlebury’s Annual Day of Learning on Global Cultures was established in 2018 in memory of Middlebury College professor Juana Gamero de Coca and as a way to honor her intellectual contributions. This annual event focuses on Professor Gamero de Coca’s passionate commitment to dignity and justice, and maps the intellectual possibilities she brought to bear on ‘misrecognized’ social and political concerns.

In this talk, Julian Portilla describes his work with Haitian farmers, the Haitian government, and the Inter-American Development Bank to develop a plan for compensating farmers who were displaced by an industrial plant built after the 2010 earthquake.

Your favorite South Asian drag auntie brings the nightclub to the classroom (and vice versa) to explain how critical social theory matters in queer nightlife. Touching on themes that include globalization, black feminist theory, diva worship, and islamophobia, she stages the nightclub as a site of politics and pleasure. Part lecture, part lipsync, part audience participation, the show demonstrates how much drag teaches us, even requires us, to be in relation with the rest of the world.

Open to students, faculty and staff only.
