Music is a form of historical memory, especially in societies where official histories have been incomplete, selective or imposed from above. Join Professor Alvarado online to learn what music can teach us about history, politics and culture in the final webinar of the This Thinking Life series.
Leonel Alvarado is a Professor of Latin American literature and culture at Massey and an award-winning poet and cultural critic. His work explores how music, storytelling, and migration reveal the lived histories, politics, and identities that shape everyday life.
