Faculty member Patrisia Macias '94 screened SLC alum Bernardo Ruiz's ('95) film, REPORTERO on Tuesday, April 3rd at the Heimbold Visual Arts Center for Latin American and Latino/a Studies (LALS).

REPORTERO follows a veteran reporter and his colleagues at ZETA, a Tijuana-based muckraking weekly, as they stubbornly ply their trade in what has become one of the deadliest places in the world to be a journalist. In Mexico, more than 40 journalists have been murdered or have gone missing since December 2006, when President Felipe Calderón Hinojosa came to power and launched a government offensive against the country's powerful drug cartels and organized crime groups.

Director Ruiz is the director/producer of American Experience: Roberto Clemente (PBS, 2008). He is the recipient of a New York Foundation on the Arts fellowship in film and his work has been supported by grants from the Ford Foundation, Sundance, Cinereach and ITVS, among others. Discussion with Bernardo followed the screening.

The SLC undergraduate development studies conference is the first-ever East coast invitational conference committed solely to the exhibition of undergraduate work in development studies, across the social sciences. On Friday, April 20th, students from Bard College, Columbia University, Smith College, and Sarah Lawrence College will present original research relating to the idea of “development”. The term will be assessed in conversations focused around Economics, Politics, and Geography.

The conference, ultimately, is a forum for students and academics to dialogue about the contemporary implications of development studies and development work. The day will be rounded out by a keynote address from Dr. Karl Botchway, of The New York City College of Technology.
