Media and Organized Crime in Mexico and the US: A Lecture by Sergio Aguayo (12.08.21)

Please join us at the Pardee School (121 Bay State Road) on WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 8, at 1 PM for a lecture by human rights activist Sergio Aguayo. Aguayo is a Professor at the Centro de Estudios Internacionales, El Colegio de México where he coordinates the Seminar on Violence and Peace and recently published a report investigating two mass killings in Mexico by gangs in the drug trade. The Wilson Quarterly recently published his analysis of the need for the United States and Mexico to join together to fight organized crime, and why it has not happened yet. Professor Aguayo’s academic training and public experiences have led to an outstanding career as a public intellectual concerned with the roots of violence in Mexico and long-term solutions. 

The talk will be moderated by Ana Villarreal, Assistant Professor of Sociology. Villarreal’s research interests lie in the intersections of criminal violence, urban inequality, and the histories of global drugs.
