The Latin American Studies Association (LASA) approved my participation in two panels at the upcoming conference in Paris. In both panels, I discuss the Venezuelan writer Krina Ber and her compelling stories about what it means to live and move through diverse cities with a malleable identity, which she conveys through words, maps, streets, and drawings. My presentation, titled Krina Ber and the Pleasure of Walking the Imagined Streets in the Pages of a Book, is part of the Literature and Culture track of the LASA2026 Congress: Republic and Revolution, Paris, May 26 - 30.
