3rd Brazil-US Colloquium on Communication Studies

Hey guys,
So on March 25th and 26th (the tuesday and wednesday we get back from spring break) there is going to be a colloquium about consumerism and citizenship in the United States and Brazil. It offers a wide array of topics such as panels dealing with culture and media, markets and economy, politics and citizens, and comparative studies. Though these topics are placed within the communication major, it covers issues that we talked about in class. One of the topics discussed will deal with how to create a national identity when all of the media one is consuming is made in the United States. It should be very interesting and give an interesting look at how media influences a Latin American country.
