Back from Madrid. Thanks to @URJC for the guest lecture invitation. I talked about migration, media & Latinxs in the Global North. I connected w/prospective students for UA’s M.A. in Bilingual Journalism and advanced fieldwork for my forthcoming book on Latinx diasporas in Spain.
Love those first days of classes when we get to brainstorm about the year ahead! Meet the new University of Arizona NAHJ Student Chapter Board, an outstanding group of bilingual & bicultural students ready to build community, create opportunities, and inspire journalism students!
New academic article "Sustainability & Creativity Strategies on the Margins: Latino Digital Native Media in the U.S. in the Platform Era" has been published in Zer (Vol. 31, No. 60)

Jessica Retis (Univ. d'Arizona) pregunta al grau de Periodisme perquè migren les persones. I esquerda el mite del "vot llatí ", que serà clau, diu a les pròximes eleccions. "L'evolució republicana del vot llatí als estats frontissa és clau a la victòria de Trump."
Thanks to Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona for the kind invitation. I look forward to engaging with students, educators, researchers, and community members to share and discuss findings of my ongoing research projects. More info: uab.cat/es/medios-comunicaci…
