SUMMARY:The Politics of Survival: Racial Geographies of Capitalism in Post-Disaster Puerto Rico
DESCRIPTION:IRLE Colloquia Series presents: \n\nFernando Tormos-Aponte and his talk on”The Politics of Survival: Racial Geographies of Capitalism in Post-Disaster Puerto Rico.” \n\n\n\nOn September 20th\, 2017\, Hurricane María made landfall on Puerto Rico. With sustained winds of 250km per hour\, the storm accomplished the unthinkable: making the economic outlook of Puerto Rico for the foreseeable future look even worse than it had the day before. Tormos argues that the hurricane exacerbated an ongoing fiscal and humanitarian crisis while revealing deep-rooted inequalities and federal and local government neglect of marginalized communities. He will address how US-Puerto Rico economic and political relations have set the stage for the crisis and how social movements are organizing to respond.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVisit us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/FernandoTormosAponte \nFernando Tormos-Aponte is a postdoctoral fellow with the Scholars Strategy Network and a research fellow of the Southern Methodist University Latino Center. His research focuses on how social movements push governments and corporations to address issues of inequality. This summer he will be a visiting scholar at the University of Cambridge where he will work on his new book with José Ciro Martínez on the politics of survival and disaster relief in Puerto Rico in the wake of hurricane María. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe 2019-2020 Institute for Research on Labor and Employment (IRLE) colloquia series aims to convene faculty\, students\, and special guests to discuss multi-disciplinary research and policy issues impacting workers and their families today. \nThe Institute for Research on Labor and Employment (IRLE) houses the Labor Studies academic program and three units – UCLA Labor Center\, Human Resources Roundtable\, and the Labor Occupational Safety and Health program. IRLE forms wide-ranging research agendas that carry UCLA into the Los Angeles community and beyond. \n\n\n\n  \n  \n
