From coming up with the themes for each episode, working on the reading list, editing the scripts and contributing to the production process, to reviewing the final videos, this series has been a professional experience of a lifetime and a wild ride.
Being part of this series was such a fun, rewarding, and challenging (in the best of ways!) experience. I was lucky to get to work with the most amazing team including Eliza Costa, Meghan Modafferi, Yolanda Rodriguez, Jaime Chambers, Paige Esterly, and many more.
It's the @thecrashcourse.bsky.social Latin American Literature SERIES FINALE!!! And you'll see how special (and personal!) this final episode is for me: it's all about the importance of translation! 🥹
Lights, camera, action! Latin American literature intersects with all sorts of other kinds of art, including film. In #12 of @thecrashcourse.bsky.social Latin American Literature, we explore the exchange between these two art forms.
