VIRTUAL: Environmental Justice: Exploring Race, Place & Spirituality (MLK 2022 at the Peabody Museum)

VIRTUAL: Afghanistan’s Future: Development, the state, and the humanitarian challenge

The American withdrawal from Afghanistan has left the international community uncertain, not only concerning the future of the country and its people – particularly women and girls – but also the future of intervention. While the complexity and limited success of interventions was well-documented even prior to the U.S. military intervention in Afghanistan, it was widely believed that a clearly defined mission and an exit strategy could overcome the inevitable setbacks.

"As We Are" - LIFFY Sneak Peek Special Screening

Join us for a sneak preview to launch this year’s Latino & Iberian Film Festival at Yale (LIFFY) with a screening of As We Are, a documentary that defines how Peruvian society is nowadays and for a conversation about Peruvian Society today, 200 years after becoming a Republic.
The film talks about how the Peruvian national soccer team made it to the 2018 world cup after 36 years of absence. In that context, it mentions the identity of a whole nation and their strength to resist and overcome their difficulties. It’s an exciting look at how it feels to be Peruvian.
