In this timely presentation, Prof. Maria Victoria Murillo, Director of the Institute of Latin American Studies at Columbia University examines the role of the United States in Latin American political, economical, and social lives during the Cold War, and its interaction with populist leaders from Arbenz to Allende. She will then share her perspective on what the US can learn from this checkered legacy on how to protect its intellectual and material interests in today's Latin America with the recent rise of populist strongmen from both sides of the political spectrum.

Time will be allocated for Q&A.
