HIA Spring Conference 2023: Challenges and (Re)definitions of the Left in Latin America

Many countries in Latin America have recently elected governments that claim to represent a renewed left. What are the historical circumstances that facilitated the election of Gustavo Petro in Colombia, Lula Da Silva in Brazil, Gabriel Boric in Chile, and Andres Manuel López Obrador in Mexico? What are the main challenges they are facing to implement their agendas? What opportunities can arise with them? How are these governments understood and experienced by different communities in and out of the region? The conference “Challenges and (Re)definitions of the Left in Latin America” is a one-day event exploring these questions.

Students, faculty members, activists, and other community members are welcome to participate. Previous registration is not required.
