Please, come to engage in our first conversation on Wednesday, November 29th from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM. We will host these conversations virtually via Zoom:
This special edition of our CLSP Critical Conversations series will host a presentation by the circle of writers, Malcriadas Fronterizas. Dr. Myriam Espinosa-Dulanto, Rosa Sanluis, Dina Nuñez and Nansi Güevara will share their book, “Historias de Mujeres Indomables por las Malcriadas Fronterizas de Border Workers United.”
This session will highlight efforts from our faculty to establish deeper Community Engagement & Integration that is one of critical foundations of UTRGV, fundamental in supporting and serving our students.
We are extending this invitation to all CEP faculty, faculty in other colleges, B3 faculty affiliates, graduate students, and doctoral students. Please, help us sharing this leaflet invite.
Historia de Mujeres Indomables is a powerful anthology about life at the US-Mexico border, through the eyes of the domestic workers whose courage and contributions are boundless. These are stories that the world needs to hear - that have been ignored for far too long - written courageously by their protagonists.
Authors: Dr. Myriam Espinosa-Dulanto, Rosa Sanluis, Dina Nuñez and Nansi Güevara
