Title: Juliana Martinez Interview, June 3, 2020
Date: June 3, 2020
Creator: Juliana Martinez; Dan Kerr
Description: Juliana Martinez, an Assistant Professor in the World Languages and Cultures department at American University, reflects on how COVID has impacted how she thinks about the world. She talks about how the crisis has revealed how deeply rooted social inequality is in the Americas, and what the deadly consequences of that inequality are. She studies gender violence, and explains how COVID has severely impacted the experiences of women, girls, and trans individuals who are experiencing violence at home and/or are sex workers or others who may not be able to stay at home and are facing increased police brutality. Juliana discusses how COVID has revealed how racism and sexism are at the base of how our society works, and addresses recent examples of police brutality against peaceful protestors. She reflects upon how COVID has revealed how she benefits from the inequalities society is based on, and hopes that the crisis will lead to deep social change. With over 100,000 people dead -- majority Black, Latinx, the elderly, and the incarcerated -- Juliana hopes that we get a real sense of urgency for a need of radical institutional, economic, and political change in the US.
