Women’s Studies colloquium

Dr. Kandace Creel Falcón, Women’s Studies/AMCS, will deliver a Women’s Studies colloquium on “Chicana Voices: Chicana (Digital) Storytelling and Oral History Practices” Friday, December 3 at 12 p.m. in MacLean 167.

She writes: “Tracing the lives of eight Midwestern Mexican American women, my research interrogates the role of stories and storytelling in familial relationships and community building. I engage with Chicana feminist understandings of identity through these Midwestern Chicanas’ stories of growing up in the Midwest (in the 60s and 70s) and their lives as women – while paying particular attention to the intersectional categories of gender, race, class and sexuality.
