In a combined podcast effort with Historias, the podcast of the Southeastern Council of Latin American Studies, Greg talks with Dustin Walcher, Jeff Taffet, Mary Rose Kubal, and Maggie Commins about the Trump administration’s policies toward Latin America. Is there a coherent policy? Is it racist? Etc.

Greg talks with Maggie Commins, who is Shelton Professor of Political Science at Queens University of Charlotte, about her forthcoming article on restrictive immigration policy tone in the southeast, which is coming out in the next issue of The Latin Americanist. It’s some really interesting research based on coding data from the National Conference of State Legislatures.

In an episode co-produced with the Historias podcast, I talk with my colleagues and good friends Jurgen Buchenau (UNC Charlotte), Greg Crider (Winthrop University), and Steven Hyland (Wingate University) about The Latin Americanist, the peer-reviewed journal owned by the Southeastern Council of Latin American Studies. We talk about all aspects of it, including how excited we are to be published by the University of North Carolina Press.

Greg talks with Jonathan Rosen, Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice at Holy Family University, about his experience serving as an expert witness in immigration cases. Jonathan has served in almost 100 cases, mostly involving Central American migrants fearful of returning. He has some great insights into the whole process and even how people can get involved.
