Platicas Interactivas is series of student-faculty interactive talks for the Fall 2014 and Spring 2015 semesters designed to discuss Latino and Mexican-American sudies (LMAS) and research. These Platicas Interactives provide an interactive conversational forum between UNT researchers and UNT students to promote awareness of UNT research in the LMAS fields. This is an opportunity for all students to actively discuss with known UNT researchers how these researchers perform their research, what struggles they face in performing research and any other question that may be relevant or in the mind of students.
