Did you know that 1 in 4 UC Irvine students identify as Hispanic, but that nationally only one in 10 PhDs are? This Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re celebrating the scholars telling our stories. 💛

Congratulations to Julia Nava (Film & Media Studies), Raúl Romo (Latin American & Iberian Cultures) and Isabel Verduzco (History). These PhD students are 2026 fellows of the Crossing Latinidades Humanities Research Initiative, and helping to build the pipeline for future scholars.

Their research on Salvadoran history, queer Latiné worldmaking, and cross-border media is opening doors for the next generation of Latino scholars. This is what humanities research can look like! 👀

Learn more about these three scholars and their work via link in bio.

Our “Alumni Through the Decades” series comes to a close with the 2010s, a time where streaming and social media was taking off. Alumni Lawrence Dalusung (B.A. film and media studies, ‘12), took his first film and media studies class and decided to go all-in to try and work in the entertainment industry.

Lawrence came to UCI and did just everything you can do on campus. He got involved with clubs like Kababayan, a Pilipinx-American cultural organization, joined SPOP, worked at the bookstore and even took a few new classes, like the film and media class that launched his career trajectory. He is currently the Director of Global Influencer Marketing at Audible, where he is building new ways for creators to reach audiences through storytelling.

Read more about Lawrence and his time here at UCI.

Video Description: A 10 second video of alumni Lawrence Dalusung with text that reads “Alumni Through the Decades: 2010’s” and the next slide reads “It wasn’t until my third year that I took a film class and immediately knew that I wanted to major in film and media studies.”
