##  SPEAKER: JAMES MESTAZ, SONOMA STATE UNIVERSITY

 Dr. James Mestaz is an Assistant Professor of Latin American History at Sonoma State University. He previously taught for two years in Harvard’s History and Literature concentration. His courses focus largely on the histories of marginalized groups, allowing students to draw connections between past and current social and environmental justice struggles. This approach fits into his commitment to linking students to grassroots and community organizations in both the U.S. and Latin America. He will be discussing his recently published book Strength from the Waters: A History of Indigenous Mobilization in Northwest Mexico, which is an Environmental and Ethnohistory that interrogates the historic connection between humans and water.

 Co-sponsored by the [David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies](/).
