Today's Trending Globally Podcast with Maria Cabrera Arus, Cogut Visiting Professor
November 4, 2019
On this episode of the Watson Institute's Trending Globally Podcast, guest host Rich Snyder talks with Maria Cabrera Arus, our very own Cogut Visiting Professor here at the Center for Latin American and Carribean Studies. Maria studies the sociology, politics, and history of something we all interact with every day: clothes. Specifically, at how clothes communicate power, and project values in a culture. She and Rich explore a place and time that exemplifies this relationship between politics, power, and fashion especially well: Revolutionary Cuba.
