Michelle Téllez: The 2021 Gloria Kaufman Memorial Lecture - MARCH 3, 2021 (6:30PM EST)

Join the Indiana University South Bend Women’s and Gender Studies Program as they present the 2021 Gloria Kaufman Memorial Lecture with special guest Michelle Téllez presenting, “Beyond the Wall: Fronteriza Imaginaries in the Everyday.”

Thinking beyond geopolitical demarcations at the US/Mexico border, this talk asks how can we imagine the borderlands as a space of feminist resistance, conviviality, agency, and creative community building. Rooted in experiential knowledge and many years of community rooted research in the region, Téllez will share the often-overlooked and misunderstood stories of mujeres fronterizas (border women).

Michelle Téllez is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mexican American Studies at the University of Arizona.
