DESCRIPTION:Antonio Sánchez-Gómez\, who earned his MA and PhD at Bard Gradu
 ate Center\, studies the history of laundry in Colombia. In this Alumni Sp
 otlight Lecture\, he reflects on the many detours\, adaptations\, and unex
 pected encounters that have shaped his scholarship. Framed by a broader pe
 rsonal and professional history of migration\, adaptation\, and acculturat
 ion\, this talk considers how uncertainty\, failure\, and changing institu
 tional and global conditions can redirect research in productive ways\, re
 vealing new questions\, unexpected connections\, and unlikely objects of s
 tudy.Antonio Sánchez-Gómez (BGC PhD 2021) is assistant professor of Latin
