Wine Chat: “Accompaniment with Im/migrant Communities” at Capitello Wines

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.”

Women who migrated to this small town in the 1960s-80s candidly share stories about the power of courageous and creative world-building. Through intimate portraits—both then and now—they show us how to live in hard times with hope, humor, and commitment to social change.
