Kristin Yarris, an associate professor of Global Studies and Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies, will discuss her edited volume Accompaniment with Im/migrant Communities: Engaged Ethnography.

This collection brings together the experiences and voices of anthropologists whose engaged work with im/migrant communities pushes the boundaries of ethnography toward a feminist, care-based, decolonial mode of ethnographic engagement called “accompaniment.”

Join CSWS for an afternoon of conversation, connection, and celebration of the important work being done in feminist research.

Date: Thursday, February 14
Time: 3:00 – 5:00 PM
Location: Hendricks Hall, third floor

In honor of Valentine's Day, we’ll be offering wine, light refreshments, and plenty of chocolate to indulge your sweet tooth. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet fellow researchers, share ideas, and learn more about the work happening across the university in feminist scholarship.

A panel discussion on gender and feminist politics in the 2024 election cycle and how the new political landscape is shaping up for important feminist issues.

Save the date! Event details TBA.
