My humanities moment

Hello, I am Eugenia Zavaleta, I am a cultural anthropologist from El Salvador whose research is focused on children’s voices in the context of human mobilities (migration, deportations, and internal displacement). I want to share in this humanities’ moment how my interest and passion for including children’s voices on research shaped my current research topics. I was interested in children’s voices since I was a child through my reading habits. I want to talk about two meaningful books, which were very important in my childhood and made me think all the time how important children’s voices in every historical moment were. One of them was Anna Frank’s Diaries, and the other was My friend, the painter, by Lygia Bojunga Nunes.
