Jackie Munro

MALAS

Jackie Munro graduated with her MA in Latin American Studies in 2021. Before coming to the MALAS program, she was a public health professional and documentarian. A formative summer in rural Nicaragua during college inspired Jackie’s love for Latin America.

Motivated by her travels in Latin America and her professional experiences, Jackie’s concentrations in the MALAS program were Geography & Environmental Studies and Human Rights. Her research interests spanned environmental health and justice, food policy, the impact of climate change on food systems, critical development studies and art as a tool for social change. After the MALAS program, Jackie will begin law school at UNM in Fall 2021.
