Rosslyn Steinmetz, a senior Spanish and Political Science major, is the first UofL student to graduate with a major in Latin American and Latino Studies through the College of Arts & Sciences. A James Graham Brown Fellow, and a graduate of DuPont Manual High School, Rosslyn has won a Fulbright Full Grant to study the roles and perceptions of women in leadership in the national legislature of Paraguay. Working from the Universidad Nacional de Asuncion, she will research gender equality and the status of Paraguayan women in politics since 1992. Rosslyn’s background in Latin America is extensive, including two programs completed to Panama, a summer internship in Trinidad and Tobago, and a year spent at the Universidad Torcuato di Tella in Argentina. Her year in Argentina was funded in part by the World Scholars Program. She is the founder and president of STAND, the UofL organization dedicated to ending genocide and a volunteer at Americana Community Center. An avid photographer, her work—including work done with the Impacto Project in Panama—has been presented at Gallery X and the Louisville Visual Arts Association. When she returns from Paraguay, Rosslyn intends to enroll in a graduate study program for Latin American politics before earning a joint JD/MA in International Studies.
