The Full Extent: Claudia Sheinbaum and Mexican Independence Day with Professor Susie Porter


I’m your host Kaeden Thomas and the reason that we are recording these episodes is to delve into current events with professors, academics and individuals who know a lot more about the the event itself, than I do, and today we are joined by Professor Susie Porter, she is a professor of gender studies at and history at the University of Utah and one of her main focal points of study is feminism within Mexico, and the event we’re covering today is the president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum. At the same time there had been different moments of unrest in the countryside, in response to Spanish rule over indigenous pueblos and peoples, in response to different moments of agricultural crisis and hardships and, in response to limits that had been placed on what people could and couldn’t do in the colonies like rules against who could participate in government, rules on who could produce certain products and goods, those kinds of things. And so, this is very important in terms of the symbolism of women’s role in Mexican society, and both during the inauguration of Scheinbaum’s inauguration on October 1 last year and during this national celebration, she has lifted up and highlighted the role of women in society, of indigenous peoples, and of the people of Mexico.
