What would be the implications of Puerto Rico shifting its status from an unincorporated territory to a state? As part of the Bridging the Divides Decolonization study group, CENTRO Directora will have a conversation with Prof. Christina D. Ponsa Kraus and Rep. José Bernardo Márquez.

This event is part of a series including discussions of independence, free-association, reparations, comparative cases, and questions regarding transitions, procedures, the role of the diaspora, migrants, and “expats.” View our last event with José Caraballo-Cueto here.
