 "Militarization in Mexico: Gendered Violence and the Gruesome Legacy of Calderon's Antidrug Campaign" by Dr. Cecilia Balli, Assistant Professor Department of Anthropology University of Texas at Austin
April 11 | 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm | Holden Hall RM 40
In 2006, Mexico elected a new president, Felipe Calderon. In an effort to curb the drug trade and end years of government complicity, Calderon embarked on an aggressive military campaign against the drug cartels. In 2007, he dispatched federal forces to Ciudad Juarez in what became the largest front in Mexico's own war on drugs. Dr. Balli has spent much of the last decade conducting research in the region and has explored the profound human implications of this policy shift. Now, as Mexicans prepare to elect President Calderon's successor and residents on both sides of the border grapple in their own way with the ongoing violence, Dr. Balli will assess the local impact of this complex conflict. This presentation is FREE and open to the Texas Tech and greater Lubbock communities.
This program is hosted by the Department of History and is made possible in part by a grant from the Cross-Cultural Academic Advancement Center. Additional funding has been provided by the Women's Studies Program
