Barnard Center for Research on Women
The presence of women in the ranks of contemporary Zapatismo is a feature that has become visible in various ways, and which the insurgent movement has had to integrate. Sub-commander Marcos is not making light of the issue when he states that women belong in Zapatismo not because it is a feminist movement, but because... they have earned their place in it. Women have opened spaces within the movement and have articulated this space with specific demands that make them visible under a new light, even - and most importantly - in their own eyes. This talk will approach some of the forms of visibility that indigenous women have adopted and explore how they have gradually altered the traditional order of gender relationships by redefining the experience of feminine indigenous subjectivity as well as transforming the way they are perceived by national society.Read More

Barnard Center for Research on Women
On Grace Paley's birthday, we present a conversation exploring how imagination, truthtelling, and courageous action flow out of Paley's life and work. A prolific writer, Paley's fiction highlights the everyday struggles of women, what she calls "a history of everyday life." In addition to her writing, Paley was also a ...committed activist, passionate about numerous issues, including women's rights, the Vietnam War, nuclear non-proliferation, and most recently, the war in Iraq. Her death in 2007 was a great loss, but her work continues to inspire. Speakers, coming from a range of generations, will include politically engaged writers, artists, and activists in such causes as immigration rights, housing, human rights, gay and lesbian issues, foreclosure actions, anti-militarism and other important struggles. The speakers have all drawn inspiration from Paley's work and life and demonstrate various affinities to the amazing woman, artist and thinker who described herself as a "combative pacifist and cooperative anarchist."
Speakers will include: Ujju Agarawal, member of the Center for Immigrant Families Collective; Yvette Christiansë, poet and novelist; Ynestra King, ecofeminist activist and educator, and editor of Dangerous Intersections: Feminist Perspectives on Population, Environment, and Development; Nancy Kricorian, New York-based writer and activist, author of Zabelle and Dreams of Bread and Fire, and coordinator of the New York City chapter of CODEPINK Women for Peace; and Amy Swerdlow, founding member of Women Strike for Peace and author of Women Strike for Peace: Traditional Motherhood and Radical Politics in the 1960s.Read More

Conventionally, immigrant "illegality" has come to signify a status, assigned by law to migrants residing in the United States who arrive outside of authorized channels and without proper documentation. Conceptualizing illegality simply as status, however, overlooks the social consequences that this legal category has ...on the lives of the undocumented. In her study of Mexican migration to New England, Jacqueline Olvera, Term Assistant Professor at Barnard College, examines how migrants, who are constructed as socially invisible yet physically present, negotiate the complexities that illegality introduces in their everyday lives. Arguing that illegality is a social sphere that unauthorized immigrants occupy, Olvera shows how illegality shapes the decisions and actions of the undocumented, and of citizens as well.
Professor Olvera teaches courses on immigration, poverty, communities and social change, and ethnic conflict. Prior to teaching at Barnard, she taught at Connecticut College and held a Ford Foundation Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at the University of Michigan's National Poverty Center. Professor Olvera has received funding from the Russell Sage Foundation for her research on Mexican migration in New England.Read More
