Dr. Penglase Speaking at Loyola's Corboy Law Center on April 21

Dr. Ben Penglase, Associate Professor of Anthropology and Latin American Studies at Loyola University Chicago, will discuss his recent book, Living with Insecurity in a Brazilian Favela (Rutgers University Press) at Loyola's Corboy Law Center (25 E. Pearson St.) on Thursday, April 21, at 6:30 p.m. His book focuses on how drug trafficking, police violence and other forms of less visible structural violence shape the daily lives of residents in a favela in Rio de Janeiro. He will look, in particular, at how people perceive safety or insecurity. The talk will be held in Room 206, and it will be followed by a book signing and reception.
