Life, Practice, and Reflections from the Central American Diaspora

The Southern Border course welcomes the Berkeley community to a special afternoon with poet and educator Javier Zamora. In the midst of increasingly polarized and reductive understandings around migration policy and border politics, we will host a panel conversation with Zamora, local educators, and students from UC Berkeley's chapter of Central Americans For Empowerment.
