International Education Week Keynote Lecture: “Building Bridges between Asia and Latin America in the Digital Age”

Tuesday, November 18 • 4PM • Payson Library, Surfboard Room

Why is the film KPop Demon Hunters so popular in Latin America? Why are tacos so popular in Korea? Dr. Melissa Fitch,  a University of Arizona distinguished professor who specializes in Hispanic Studies, will set out to answer these questions and more in her lecture titled, “Building Bridges between Asia and Latin America in the Digital Age.” The author of three books focused on global identity, art, and culture, Fitch will offer her expert opinion on how new media connects seemingly disparate parts of our world.
