Frances Negron-Muntaner, Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia and co-Director of CSSD working group Unpayable Debt, delivered the keynote lecture at Pratt’s March 26 Digital Spatialities workshop. The event brought together scholars pursuing research on social media phenomena within the US and globally.
Frances’ keynote was entitled “The ‘Valor y Cambio’ Project: Practicing Art, Narrative and Just Economies in Puerto Rico,” and was inspired by her current community currency project in Puerto Rico, and her extensive experience as an activist, writer, filmmaker, curator, and educator.
