Panel: Perspectives on Latinas and Feminism
Nosotras,
the student Latina organization at Smith, will host a panel
discussion on Tuesday, Feb. 24, that explores Latinas and
feminism. The panel, titled “Race
and Feminism: Latina Perspectives,” will take place
from 4:15 to 5:30 p.m. in Neilson Browsing Room.
Panelists include scholars who
have researched and investigated Latina feminists from several
approaches. They are Dorothy Mosby, associate professor of
Spanish at Mount Holyoke College, and three faculty members
from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst: Mari Castañeda, associate professor of communication;
Ann Ferguson, professor emerita of women’s studies
and philosophy; and Priscilla Page, professor of theater
and curator of New WORLD Theater.
“Latina feminism is a topic that many are discussing,” says Dior
Vargas ’09, social chair of Nosotras, who helped organize the panel. “The
goal of this event is to bring many perspectives together
to honestly speak about Latinas, where they have diverged
from feminist movements and where they have met.”
