Co-Sponsored event:
In this workshop-style presentation, Dr. Vidal-Ortiz will discuss the foundational feminist, queer, and racial justice roots of the book, Queer Brown Voices: Personal Narratives of Latina/o LGBT Activism, the political need for the documentation of these histories, and mechanisms of producing a book based on oral histories with people from the U.S. and Puerto Rico. The interactive session will help attendees imagine similar projects with communities whose life narratives need to be told and to think critically about presenting the stories and diversifying their distribution and availability in order to reach younger generations sooner. The first 25 attendees will receive a complimentary book at the end of the session.
Lunch will be provided. RSVP by March 17, 2017 to hallw@umd.edu
