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.

Yale Alumni Academy and Harvard Alumni Travels have assembled a distinguished roster of expert faculty and alumni to address the leading climate change issues facing our planet. With eight presentations taking place over three weeks, we offer alumni participants interactive lectures and discussion sessions designed to inform, educate and expand your thinking on this important topic. Our Climate Change Conversations series coincides with the United Nations COP2 Conference taking place in Glasgow this November and features several speakers who will also address that conference.

On November 5th, the panel sessions include “Inequality and Income Support” and “Affirmative Action and Resource Allocation.” Overall, the studies covered in these sessions employ different approaches, including theory, policy evaluations, and analyses of historical data, to understand the redistributive implications of economic and political policies. The policies include federal government acts on a minimum wage and immigration, quotas in political representation, and identity-contingent hiring and school admissions.

In what ways do the effects of historically discriminatory government policies linger today, and what scope exists to reduce their remaining harms? And does under-representation of minority groups in the ranks of government officials necessarily undermine the de facto fairness of de jure impartial institutions? Recent research provides insight into these questions, as well as into the implications of changing the way that race itself is conceptualized in empirical discrimination research.
