  • By: Michael Williams

Edgardo Tormos co-organized a 2-part panel for LASA 2021 along with Prof. Adela Pineda Franco. The panels, titled “Hacia la Revolución mexicana global: perspectivas transnacionales del siglo XX y XXI, Parts I & II” offered eclectic, transnational perspectives on how the literature and film shaped the evolving hegemonic discourses on the Mexican Revolution during the XXth and XXIst centuries.
