In this era, most of Latin America's nation states consolidated their power and strengthened their institutions, but this wa s a slow, ambiguous, and messy process at the city level. In Quito, as in other cities throughout the region and beyond, this was a time when th e traditional patterns of urban life and growth were left behind. It surpa ssed the longstanding boundaries of the Spanish-colonial era, not just in terms of urban sprawl but in the patterns of social relations between peo ple of different socioeconomic and ethnic / racial backgrounds. One exampl e of this was the relationship between the municipal government and the ci ty's many street vendors, especially those who sold different types of fo od. Under the pretext of hygiene and so-called 'ornato', authorities trie d to prevent and control these vendors’ presence in streets and public spa ces. Through analysis of papers of the municipal police that speak of thes e conflicts and interactions, I aim to show that the process of moderniza tion of the city in the 20th century included the dispute for spaces and t he public sphere in a literal, legal, and ideological sense. Furthermore , it necessitated such a group in order to advance the local and the larg er establishment's ideas of hygiene, education, and urban design.About t he Presenter:Andrés Lalama Vargas is in the fifth year of the PhD program in the Department of History at the University of Toronto. His research in terests include Latin American and urban history, especially in the 19th and 20th centuries. He is primarily interested in the historic production of urban and semi-urban spaces. He is also co-editor of Past Tense Graduat e Review of History, a student-led, peer reviewed journal hosted at our university.   Exploring Pedagogies for Disadvantaged, Indigenous, and Im prisoned Children in Bolivia About the Presentation:The aim of my research is to further educational understanding for supporting countries in the G lobal South. To address this aim, I propose to examine two alternative ed ucation programs for vulnerable populations in Bolivia characterised by po verty, Indigeneity, and criminality: the Casa de la Amistad (CDLA) and O rganización para le Educación y Servicio a la Comunidad (OESER). Bolivia i s an innately interesting context: it is the poorest country in South Amer ica, has one of the highest income inequalities in Latin America, is cul turally and linguistically diverse, having one of the highest Indigenous populations in Latin America, and is the third-largest producer of coca, a precursor to cocaine, leading to high incarceration rates mainly for f emale participants from the peasant class. Bolivia has attempted to addres s its societal issues undergoing two comprehensive and contrasting changes , including education reforms in 1994 and 2010 meant to improve dispariti es between non-Indigenous and Indigenous Bolivians. The latter reform occu rred under Evo Morales, Latin America’s first Indigenous President, and a climate of anti-globalization and anti-neo-liberalism. Despite the refor ms, there remain significant educational gaps.About the Presenter:Joshua Lim comes from a family of teachers and people who are committed to social justice. In his youth, he accompanied his parents on volunteer opportuni ties supporting a First Nations community and incarcerated people. He is a n Occasional Teacher in the Toronto District School Board and an Officer i n the Canadian Army Reserves. He completed his M.A. in Child Study and Edu cation (2021) and M.Ed. in Curriculum and Pedagogy (2022) at OISE. He is c urrently a second-year student in the Ph.D. in Curriculum and Pedagogy pro gram with a specialization in Comparative, International, and Developmen t Education. \n\nContact Information: \n Luis van Isschot las.program@utor onto.ca Department of Spanish & Portuguese \n\nSponsors \nLatin American S tudies \n170 St. George St., third floor.
