On the Implications of Overturning Roe

A Year in Review
by Sangita Gopal, CSWS Director

Reflecting on the 2022 Acker–Morgen Memorial Lecture

CSWS Expands Support for Graduate Students
by Jenée Wilde, Senior Instructor, Department of English
“One of the things that became clear during the pandemic is that graduate students were the most affected by lockdowns, but the institution made the least room for addressing how they were affected,” says CSWS Director Sangita Gopal. “Faculty could take a break from research, but graduate students didn’t have that leisure.”
Catching up with Baran Germen

Informal Labor Blues: Gendered Effects of COVID-19 and Beyond on Backward Caste Women in India
by Malvya Chintakindi, PhD Candidate, Department of Anthropology
“I don’t care if I live or die, I just need put some food on plate for my family. I don’t have any other support."
“I wish I did not get my daughter married at 15, but we couldn’t afford another mouth to feed or extra space for her in our one room to sleep. Afterall, I was married away when I was 12.”
“To the government, our bodies only matter during elections since the votes we cast are important for political gains. Because it is then, we are not untouchables.”
