Tulchin discusses inequality and citizen security in Latin America, the major “tectonic” changes that have taken place in Latin America since the end of the Cold War, and how inequality and insecurity are further exacerbated by these changes. His in-depth focus on a Brazilian case highlights the importance of public policies that deal with the economic divide.

Joseph S. Tulchin is a Latin American scholar with published research on hemispheric security and international affairs, citizen security and police reform, reducing inequality, and the governance of cities. The author of more than 100 scholarly articles and 70 books, Tulchin is a visiting fellow at the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies at Harvard University, where he is writing a book on United States relations with Central America.

Ruth Moody, a Juno Award-winning songwriter from Winnipeg, founding member of the internationally renowned, Billboard-charting trio The Wailin' Jennys, and former lead singer of the Canadian roots band Scruj MacDuhk (later known as The Duhks), now has her own band and a new album. Although best known for her work with The Wailin’ Jennys, Ruth is an artist of exceptional depth and grace in her own right. Critics have lauded her ethereal vocals, impressive multi-instrumentalism (she plays guitar, banjo, accordion, piano, and bodhrán), and her talent as a songwriter. Writing with a maturity and wisdom that belies her age, her songs are timeless, universal, and exceptionally well-crafted, all sung with an intimacy and honesty that is unmistakably hers. Ruth's highly anticipated solo album, The Garden, was released this summer to stunning reviews.
