Jose Sebastian Terneus, an English and literature professor at Miami Dade College, will discuss colonization in society and the 2018 Marvel film Black Panther on March 13 at 1 p.m. at InterAmerican Campus, 627 S.W. 27th Ave., Room 3103.
Terneus will speak about the effects of colonization around the world and how the issue connects with contemporary social issues. Additionally, he will present a research project on the effects of environmental colonization.
“I find it important to think about this fictional ‘Wakanda’ and what could have existed if Africa was not colonized oppressed, and stolen its natural resources,” Terneus said.
The discussion is part of PeaceJam Miami’s lecture series Voices from the Margins, which invites students to be aware of social issues through the humanities.
The event is free and open to the public.
