Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow César Colón-Montijo has published two essays expanding on his research on the afterlives of Afro-Puerto Rican singer Ismael “Maelo” Rivera (1931-1987).

Reflecting on the process of publishing these essays, Colón-Montijo noted, “I see these pieces as building blocks for the book manuscript I am writing, entitled 'Después de tanta salsa', which will be published in 2022 by Ediciones Callejón, one of the foremost Puerto Rican academic and literary presses.”

Students in POR 107 have created a television show titled “Perspectivas da Lusofonia.” Recently Elise Hogan ’24 hosted an interview with Professor Pedro Meira Monteiro, and Nick Pusater ’22 interviewed Brazilian photographer Jennifer Cabral-Pierce.

The project was coordinated by Portuguese lecturer Daiane Tamanaha.
