Voices of Northeastern: Roberto Molar Candanosa
Roberto Molar Candanosa, a science reporter at Northeastern, learned English at the age of 15 by translating “Romeo and Juliet” in his Texas high school. “What I do now is translate a language again, but this time it’s the language of research,” he says, adding that becoming a writer was nothing but a privilege. He says racial inequalities in the U.S. are part of an identity problem. “We need to start putting aside all of our individualism and provincialism, and stare at our history—ugly or not—right in the eyes.”
