Hi, my name is Scott! I like to travel and document cultures in Latin America. Here are a few of my favorite shots! #PortfolioDay

@nsanmartin Thanks for the follow! It's a great article, especially how it connects their past with what they are doing now, and how they keep their traditions. The videos show a dimension of the photos I wasn't aware of, how the light comes through. Keep up the great storytelling! 👍🏽

@nsanmartin It's great to have Messi in Florida! I have a quick comment about your article on Mexico's indigenous people with photos by Yael Martínez. The word "originarias" does not have a written accent. It is incorrect as "originárias" 5 times in the article. I love Yael's inspired work!

@NatGeoTravel Wonderful recommendations! The Spanish "mole" or "moles" does not have a written accent: you have "molés" in the description.

From a Nigerian cook’s memoir to a classic novel of Mexican molés and magic, these books take you on unforgettable culinary journeys. on.natgeo.com/445gKdx

Race and the Borderlands Confrence @SDSU @sdsucal Dr. Nandita Sharma @nsharma101 (Univ. of Hawaii at Manoa) gives an insightful and in-depth presentation on postcolonial racism. #sandiegostate #border #borderlands

@68_lopezcalvo The one on the right, for sure!

Please tell me your preference.

@wellbelove 20 counting the "RT" IT veas 21, but someone click one fav hahahaha

This could be interesting - so how many 3’s do you see

Thanks to Walter Thompson-Hernández @WTHDZ for screening and discussing his film If I Go Will They Miss Me (Winner of the Short Film Jury Award: U.S. Fiction) at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival @sundancefest Thanks to @ljwl_plnu @plnu for hosting the event! Such a great film!

@jason_p_deleon Thanks for the moving presentation and spending the day with us @PLNU. It was great meeting you and hearing your story and vision.

Catch me in Sam Diego this afternoon. Hostile Terrain 94 Exhibit Is Coming to PLNU lomabeat.com/hostile-terrai…

Hey. Hey if you’re a premed and still in school - learn Spanish. Add a Spanish minor. And if you’re in med school - Aim to be comfortable enough to ask/answer basic review of systems questions and physical exam in Spanish. Every day I wish I knew more Spanish.

@nellstra Amores perros and No for me! I thought he did a good job with Who is Dayani Cristal? as well.

@MDeanClark James was my French professor at UCSB. We both finished our PhDs in 2007. You will not find a kinder, funnier or more humble person anywhere. I also recommended him as a great candidate at APU. That really sucks (for the other profs also). Higher Ed is only about $ & ROI now.

The *restructuring* of higher education in one picture.

@ryanvizzions Starting to feel the same...nobody sees anything (in my case)... no inspiration to share there either. Keep up the great work... wherever you share that! 👍🏽📷❤️

Revising syllabi? Remember that the FIFA World Cup will intervene at the end of the fall semester! Relevant dates for U.S. profs likely... 🇲🇽: Tues. 11/22; Wed. 11/30 🇺🇸: Mon. 11/21; Fri. 11/25; Tues. 11/29

@Julia_R_Brown Sounds interesting. ¡Buena suerte!

@MDeanClark It is a penance one must pay! Ha! I moved into sunset row a few weeks ago! It only took 15 years! I'll share some cliché photos later.

@scottmbennett That’s where I started and moved after years three!

Yes, course planning for the fall is going REALLY well. WHY DO YOU ASK?!?!?

@iamkatmann I love this! Frost's poem always make me think of Antonio Machado's Caminante, no hay camino. Share more of your memes!

@RefaelPaulo @MPaarlberg I have seen or shown Central do Brasil 20+ times. I always cry at the end...Fernanda Montenengro is simply amazing. A good one from Argentina is Camila by María Luisa Bemberg. A tear-jerker as well ...and a true story. So many great films!

I teach an undergrad class on Latin American politics that incorporates films as a supplement to the readings. Since it's course prep time, I'll share the films I assign, by country, and links where currently available here:
