Throughout the academic year, the Center for Latinx Digital Media invites you to a series of weekly seminars held over Zoom. During the Fall 2021 quarter, the series will take place every Thursday from September 23 to December 2.

Introducing Journeys!
~Latinx and Latin American travels through communication and media studies~
We are thrilled to share with you the Center for Latinx Digital Media's new initiative: Journeys. This is an ongoing, multi-media editorial project that aims to showcase and connect the work of Latinx and Latin American scholars studying media and communication topics across the Americas. It is made possible through support from a Global Campus Collaborative Grant from the Buffett Institute for Global Affairs at Northwestern University. Discover Journeys here.
