The article highlights the contributions of three prominent scholars: Steven Levitsky, Sir Hilary Beckles, and Martín Caparrós. Levitsky, a political expert from Harvard, examines democracy and authoritarianism, having authored significant works on American democracy and Argentine politics. Beckles, vice-chancellor of the University of the West Indies, focuses on economic history related to slavery and reparatory justice, contributing extensively to understanding colonial impacts. Caparrós, known for his narrative journalism, will speak about contemporary journalism in Latin America, adding to the discourse on regional issues during his campus visit in April.
Levitsky's scholarship emphasizes the study of democracy and authoritarianism, arguing that understanding political parties and informal institutions is essential to navigating today's global political climate.
Beckles highlights the historical context of slavery and colonialism in the Caribbean, advocating for reparatory justice while addressing societal issues through his extensive body of work.
