“Interpersonal Relations Between the Americas” explores the intricate relations between Western Hemispheric communities. This panel discussion aims to explore these dynamics through an exploration of the text, Common Ground: Understanding the Gap that Unites Latin America and the US. This work of Dr. Lisa Kahle-Piasecki, Dr. Dante B. Castro and Dr. Matthew Bereza lays a foundation for exploring the nuanced intersections of the Americas, particularly within the realms of culture, business, and socioeconomic structures. This session’s goal is to assimilate the colonized past into a reconciled future that finds a common ground where the differences can unify instead of divide.
