Feminist Organizer
I have been active in organizing panels at conferences, workshops and roundtables. At the Five College Women’s Studies Research Center (FCWSRC), I organized and wrote in a roundtable conversation about the category of woman that The Massachusetts Review will publish in the special number “Revisiting WOMAN: AN ISSUE,” in which scholars at different career stages coming from Ghana, India, Mexico, the United States Canada and Germany, participated. With my peers at the FCWSRC I have organized and facilitated public Green Scarf DIY workshops at Hampshire College, to share the strategies deployed by Latina feminists in the fight for reproductive justice, and participated in public discussions on diversity in academia.
During my time at Yale I was an active member of Yale Latinx working group through which I had the opportunity to teach in workshops to public school students. Since 2020 I am a co-coordinator of the Theory Section of the LAIGN in which I have organized conversatorios on feminicide. My commitment to social and justice and to diversify academia and its archives led me to organize webinars for the Art&Protest public programming at Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Yale in which Mexican mother-activists spoke of their efforts to fight gender violence. I have also been a representative at the Graduate Student Assembly and a Graduate Student Advisory Committee in the American Studies Program and American Studies Symposium Organizing Committee.
