Environmental Sociology and Latin American studies are fascinating fields for those willing to investigate the intersection of environmental degradation and other social issues in one of the world's most unequal regions. This interview with my guest, Professor Alessandro Morosin, inaugurates a new category in this Social Steps Podcast. I call this category "Dialogues with the Faculty".
At the beginning of his career, professor Alessandro taught English as a Second Language in Los Angeles public schools, especially for adult migrants from Latin America. The curiosity in understanding what drives Hispanic people to migrate to the United States encouraged Alessandro to investigate this topic in graduate school, beginning what would become an involvement in Environmental Sociology and Latin American studies. After completing his Ph.D. at the University of California-Riverside, Professor Morosin taught one year at the University of San Diego (in California), and currently he teaches at DePauw University in Indiana. He is also a political activist and a member of Alarma, a latin alternative music band that advocates for social and environmental causes.
It is a pleasure to bring his unique perspective on how Environmental Sociology, Latin American studies, and music can help uplift humanity and address social problems.
