Roots to Routes: A Book Talk with Romina Garber

The SNF Paideia program serves as a hub for civic dialogue in undergraduate education at Penn. In collaboration with other Penn programs and organizations, SNF Paideia provides opportunities for students to develop the knowledge, skills, ethical frameworks, and experiences necessary to be informed, engaged, and effective community members and leaders. We encourage the free exchange of ideas, civil and robust discussion of divergent views, and the integration of individual and community wellness, service, and citizenship through SNF Paideia designated courses, a fellows program, and campus events.

It was recently selected by St. Paul, Minnesota as their “<a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/sppl.org/read-brave/__;!!IBzWLUs!Re4V8sSVl-iQ5KWE6UynlzUkxxYnAI8QOvwQF-OQXwtfNioUPBbfxGOoiPM9Q5zaYHQGY2gnkbX5lzazi033_g$" title="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/sppl.org/read-brave/__;!!IBzWLUs!Re4V8sSVl-iQ5KWE6UynlzUkxxYnAI8QOvwQF-OQXwtfNioUPBbfxGOoiPM9Q5zaYHQGY2gnkbX5lzazi033_g$" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Read Brave</a>” citywide book club pick.Besides providing readers a sense of the lived experience of undocumented youth in the U.S., Lobizona highlights both migration violence and gender oppression across the Americas as interconnected colonial legacies, and — in representing an Argentine undocumented protagonist — does important work in expanding often narrow conceptions of Latinidad and Latine immigrants.Read more about the author <a href="https://rominagarber.com/books/lobizona/" title="https://rominagarber.com/books/lobizona/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>.Kindly RSVP as spaces are limited.Location: University of Pennsylvania, 1 College Hall, Room 205 This event is sponsored by SNF Paideia Program, Penn for Immigrant Rights, La Casa Latina, Center for Latin American and Latinx Studies, Office of Social Equity and Community, Office of Academic Excellence and Engagement, Huntsman Program, and Office of Interpersonal Development and Engagement.
