Congratulations to Dr. Judith Martinez

Her research shines a light on how culture is depicted through movies, television and literature.

January 30, 2023 by Strategic Communication

The work of Dr. Judith Martinez, assistant professor for the department of world languages and cultures, is featured in the 2023 issue of Mind’s Eye (the university’s research publication).

Her dialectical research focuses on the coexistence of neoliberal violence and Latinx literature, film, music, telenovelas and series.

Here’s an excerpt from her story:

Martinez explains that literature exposes us to realities that no one talks about, and that ultimately the goal is to want to change that reality and to seek justice and dignity for all.

“These books and cultural texts are windows to seeing a different side of the story. They’re going to hopefully make you want to move to action,” Martínez said.

Congratulations, Dr. Martinez!
