Andrew Aldridge commented on the post, Is Marvel Making America Great Again, on the site The Movement for Black Women's Lives 6 years ago

When I think of the lasting impact of Black Panther, I’m actually hoping that the possibilities it generates exist outside of just the Marvel cinematic universe. Mainly, and this could sound cynical of me, but I […]
Andrew Aldridge commented on the post, Beyonce Homecoming and Taylor Swift Outgoing, on the site The Movement for Black Women's Lives 6 years ago

So I’m going to start this reply with just stating that I am not a fan of Taylor’s at all. I think she’s highly problematic and that this incident allows us to go back and remind ourselves why. I say this because, […]

Here is a really cool interview I found with Rep. Lauren Underwood talking about how she learned a lot and was deeply inspired by Shirley Chisolm. While we were watching the film about Chisolm in class, I found […]
Andrew Aldridge commented on the post, Black Women as a 'Voting Bloc' 2020 Presidential Election cont., on the site The Movement for Black Women's Lives 6 years ago

In reflecting on this article, I returned to another one I read in 2016 which centered the Mothers of the Movement. For those who may not be familiar, Mothers of the Movement refers to a group of Black women […]
Andrew Aldridge commented on the post, Kamala Harris Was Not a ‘Progressive Prosecutor', on the site The Movement for Black Women's Lives 6 years ago

I was thinking along the lines of our class discussion, and the theme of women in politics who tried to combat the system while working in it. Since the article asserts that Kamala Harris has a history of […]

Ever since Kamala Harris declared her candidacy I’ve been seeing a lot of varying comments about her on social media, namely from my peers. There are some who are calling her “problematic” while others state that […]

Reflecting back on the semester, I have learned a lot about Brazil. Perhaps more influential than some of the major topics we covered in readings, were the small conversations we had about Brazilian culture, like […]

Today, we started out by reflecting on I.S symposium. There were a lot of good presentations that people went to, and it was good to hear that people were able to experience I.S presentations inside and outside […]

For Symposium I went to two very cohesive presentations.

Danica Genners: Danica’s project examined how attitudes have shifted towards those in the LGBTQ+ in Latin America have shifted after the election of […]

One question I have about the film Wasteland is about Vik. While I thought the project he pursued doing was admirable, there was something about him which rubbed me the wrong way, that I couldn’t really pin down […]

On March 20th, Brazil’s government announced that it planned to vaccinate the entire country against another outbreak of yellow fever by April 2019. For those who may not know, yellow fever is a nasty disease. It […]

Something I found very intriguing about The Hour of the Star was its style of narration. Perhaps its the part of me that loves poetry, but the style of the narration came across as prose. Very early on, the […]
Andrew Aldridge commented on the post, Wikipedia Article: Japanese cuisine in São Paulo, on the site History 217 Modern Brazil 7 years ago

This topic sounds very interesting, I got the chance to study Japanese culture for a bit in high school, but I haven’t had the chance to take a history class on it in college, I think that showing the […]
Andrew Aldridge commented on the post, Wikipedia Article: Church of Saint Francis of Assisi (Ouro Preto), on the site History 217 Modern Brazil 7 years ago

I’m very interested to see what your research reveals because I don’t think we’ve focused on religion a lot in class. It also sounds like you’ve identified a good variety of sources. Can’t wait to see how things turn out!
Andrew Aldridge commented on the post, Research Project – Festa Junina, on the site History 217 Modern Brazil 7 years ago

In your description, you mentioned a little bit about how maintaining the tradition is important for fair skinned middle-class Brazilians, I was just wondering if you were going to focus on colorism at all, or if […]

The article I will pursuing for my “clean up” project is “Racism in Brazil.” The most shocking part of this article is that it hardly talks about slavery in Brazil. Rather, most of its information doesn’t carry […]

For my research project, I will be examing colorism is Brazil. More specifically, how it manifests itself within the music industry. My interest in this project comes from my experiences as a young Black man, as […]

I think that the article got off to a good start. The language and tone mostly remained neutral throughout the whole piece. The majority of the subheading and topics fed back into the main title. However, there […]
