Afro-Latin American Studies - Campus Visits, Grad Lunches, and Job Talks...

by Orozco Herrera, Dinah

Dear AAAS Graduate Students, My name is Dinah Orozco-Herrera an international Ph.D. student (GS 2020) and a Teaching Fellow in the Department of African and African American Studies and Romance Languages & Literatures. My research interests are Afro-Hispanic Caribbean Literature, Decolonial Studies, Caribbean Critical Discourse, and African Religions in the Diaspora, and I am the Graduate Student Representative for the *Afro-Latin American Studies Tenure-Track Faculty Search.* *CANDIDATE CAMPUS VISITS* The search committee (Sidney Chalhoub, Bruno Carvalho, and Yanilda Gonzalez) has narrowed the pool of applicants and will bring four final candidates to campus every Thursday during the month of February. As the Grad Student Rep for the search, I'm tasked with keeping you updated on the candidate's campus visits and compiling all of our opinions and feedback on the candidates to share with the search committee which will be taken into consideration and becomes part of the recommended hire’s case statement. All feedback I give to the committee will remain anonymous. *CANDIATE LUNCHES* I will be facilitating the graduate student lunch meetings with the candidates each week. *The meetings will be held every Thursday from 12:15-1:45 in a private dining room at the Faculty Club*. These lunches will be a chance for us to talk informally with each candidate and ask about their work & research, training & mentoring style, grad student courses they'd offer if hired, their approach to undergrad teaching, and their career trajectory & future projects. Please plan to attend each lunch, if possible, so you can personally evaluate and compare the candidates. If you have any dietary restrictions or allergies please contact Joey Francoeur-Krzyzek <joeymfk(a)fas.harvard.edu?subject=Faculty%20Club%20Candidate%20Lunch...> so he can alert the Faculty Club in advance. *CANDIDATE JOB TALKS* *Each candidate's job talk will be held every Thursday in February in the Thompson Room in the Barker Center from 4:30 pm-6:00 pm.* The talks will be hybrid events, so you may attend via Zoom if you're not able to attend in person. (Recordings will also be provided for those unable to attend in real-time). I’ll send you a reminder email with more info and the zoom links before each talk. *CANDIDATE CV & MATERIALS* Below are the visit dates with the candidates’ names and links to their application materials for you to review prior to meeting them. It will be helpful for us to know a bit about their research and teaching before we meet them in person. The search committee requests your discretion with the names of the candidates and that their application materials be treated with confidentiality. *Thursday, February 2, 2023 - Amarilys Estrella* CV & Materials <https://hu.sharepoint.com/:b:/s/FAS-AAAS/EUquJPJ0wrJDgrR_myV2dVEBJzBn8FqxDs…> *Thursday, February 9, 2023 - Rene Cordero* CV & Materials <https://hu.sharepoint.com/:b:/s/FAS-AAAS/ER8KL3ZDpHdMo2DeWKLIADUBsKyPGNQ3bl…> *Thursday, February 16, 2023 - Nadia Mosquera Muriel* CV & Materials <https://hu.sharepoint.com/:b:/s/FAS-AAAS/Ee48WMUTHpdPmhlhMho86jUBg4KBX6Cnlo…> *Thursday, February 23, 2023 - Vanessa Castañeda* CV & Materials <https://hu.sharepoint.com/:b:/s/FAS-AAAS/EV3-K-VDLT5KpHqAdZU1iWABjBJdLo943j…> Do not miss each candidate's job talk and the meetings with us as graduate students. These meetings will offer a good opportunity to give feedback. I encourage everyone to attend irrespective of if your work is related to Afro-Latin American Studies. If anyone has any questions or concerns, please contact me. Thank you & Ashe! Dinah
