The Impact of Latinos in the Media on Issues of Pedagogy
(Academic)
Dr. Hector Amaya will be discussing how his status as immigrant has influenced his professional identity and pedagogical style. His second book (currently under review) is titled Citizenship Excess: Latinas/os, Transnationalism, Media, and the Ethics of Nation. Prof. Amaya examines contemporary cases such as the 2006 pro-immigration reform marches, news coverage of undocumented immigrant detention centers, participation of Latinas/os in the Iraqi war, nativism in mainstream media, popular shows like Ugly Betty, and issues of rights regarding Spanish language media. Finally, he will end with practical resources for inclusive pedagogy that supports Latinas/os student success.
