We are pleased to introduce prof. Richard Reitsma from Canisius College — a visiting professor at the American Studies Center in the Spring 2022 within the Visiting Professor Exchange Program with Canisius and Daemen Colleges in Buffalo, NY.
Since after the May break, prof. Reitsma will start his elective for BA students: LatinX in the US. The course aims to explore the complex identities and the sense of (not)belonging of the Latin American & Caribbean Diaspora in the US, through the analysis of film and literature.
Prof. Richard Reitsma is a Chair of the Department of Modern Languages, Literatures, and Cultures, and Associate Professor of Spanish and Latin American Studies at Canisius College, Buffalo, NY. His current research concentrates on gender and minority representation in literature and film of the American South, U.S. Latinos, and Latin America.
