January 6, 2016—CLLAS executive board member June Black is leaving the University of Oregon for a new position as associate curator of art at the Boise Art Museum, in Boise, Idaho. A former CLLAS graduate teaching fellow, June has been active with the CLLAS Human Rights and Social Memory in Latin America research action project (RAP) and has provided strong leadership in featuring artists on campus from Latin America, and in providing teacher training in the arts. She has worked at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art since graduating from UO in 2012. Her current position at JSMA is associate curator for academic programs and the arts of the Americas and Europe. While we at CLLAS will miss June’s invaluable contribution to the Latin@ and Latin American Studies community here at UO, we wish her all the best in her new well-deserved position.
