  FEATURED EVENT: Dr. Hector Amaya presents "Ugly Betty: Latinos, Media Perceptions, and Citizenship"  
(Special Event)

Dr. Amaya will discuss 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 a Nation. This piece proposes a way of theorizing U.S. citizenship that can better accommodate the lived political and media realities of Latinas/os. Dr. 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.
