LACS Virtual Teach-In: Venezuela and US Imperialism
Andreína Chávez (Independent Journalist), Rebecca Hanson (University of Florida), Geo Maher (W.E.B. DuBois Movement School), Alejandro Velasco (NYU)
Tuesday, January 27, 2026
6:30-8:00 PM
Virtual
For this virtual teach-in, experts on Venezuela will convene to discuss some basic yet urgent questions: What should everyone know to understand recent developments in Venezuela? What has mainstream media gotten right, what has it gotten wrong, and what has it left out in its coverage? How should we situate current events historically, within Venezuela but also within the context of US imperialism in Latin America and beyond? What are some possible futures for Venezuela and who stands to benefit or lose if one future wins out over the rest?
