The Reading Groups are:

1. Marginalized Motherhoods in the Americas

Description:  Through the works of seven women writers in the Americas, this reading group centers on ideas of motherhood and mothering, and their potential for a critique of systems of patriarchal violence, racism, classism, and extra-activism. This Reading group is organized by Regina Pieck (Graduate Student, Hispanic Studies), Tess Renker (Graduate Student, Hispanic Studies), and Iris Montero (Professor, Hispanic Studies).

Organized by Stephanie Wong (Graduate Student, History) and Emily Owens (Professor, History).
