SASS Lunch Douge-Prosper Colonization, Imperialism, Exploitation and the Haitian Crisis

Join us for a lunch discussion on Haiti with Dr. Mamyrah Dougé-Prosper, and explore how colonization, imperialism and exploitation have led us to, and continue to impact, the current crisis in one of our closest national neighbors.

Dr. Mamyrah Dougé-Prosper, is a UC Irvine assistant professor of global and international studies who specializes in research on social movements in the Caribbean and Latin America – particularly Black and Haitian social movements. She also serves as the international coordinator for the Pan-African Solidarity Network with Community Movement Builders in the U.S., and in that capacity, she serves as a coordinator of the Leve Kanpe Avèk Ayiti International Coalition that includes organizations in Canada, the U.S., Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay working to amplify the struggles of the people of Haiti. And, she is a founding member of the Black Radical, a multi-lingual Pan-African media collective.

SASS Lunches are open to any member of the Caltech affiliated community; however, if space becomes an issue, priority will be given to students.  Views expressed are solely those of the speaker(s).
