Contributions from LLC members to academia

News about publications and conference presentations

One of the important activities of academic life is to actively participate in spaces where research is shared, discussed, and disseminated. These practices are represented in publications, conference presentations or community activism activities, among others. Members of our LLC community—faculty, students, and alumni— continuously enrich the academic landscape by participating in those spaces.

We want to share with our LLC friends some of the activities that our faculty and students have engaged in during the previous months.
