Wildcat Voices Project
Two professors in the UK Linguistics Department are undertaking an expansive project to hear from all students on campus— literally.
UK students come from across the commonwealth and around the world and each of us brings a voice that reflects who we are and where we come from. This project is intended to take a snapshot of the voices of all UK students so we can better understand the voices that make up the University of Kentucky.

The global rise of populism with Brexit and the election of Donald Trump brought populism from the margins and the global south to the global north. Populists are in power not only in unconsolidated and fragile democracies in Latin America, but in Hungary, Poland, Greece, and the U.S. As the world region where populists got to power since the 1940s, Latin America offers lessons to activists, scholars, and politicians of how populists undermined democracy from within. Promising to give power back to the people, populists in power followed a playbook of concentration of power in the executive, war against the media, regulation of civil society, and the transformation of democratic adversaries into enemies. Speakers include Kurt Weyland (UT Austin), Federico Finchelstein (New School), Silvia Pedraza (Michigan), Phillip Penix-Tadsen (Delaware). Sponsored by Hispanic Studies, Anthropology, and Sociology.
