HIGSA TALKS 2018

Date: March 30th, 2018
Purpose: The main goals of the event are to promote networks between the presenters (faculty and students) and the undergraduate and graduate audience, to encourage mentorship relations between presenters and students with shared interests, and to narrow the gap between theory and practice favored by the format of the presentations (short and of easy understanding for non-experts).
Event description: HiGSA Talks offers a safe inclusive interdisciplinary space where the FSU members, doing any type research and work about Latin America, or interested in Latin America, can share their findings and/or experiences. Students from different fields and nationalities will be sharing their research and experiences with Hispanic countries and culture. There will be two keynote speakers: a FSU and University of Kentucky professor. There will be talks in English and Spanish. After the talks, there will be a section of Q&A and a networking mixer. Appetizers and non-alcoholic beverages are provided during the networking mixer. The Talks last from 4:00 to 8:30 p.m.
