\u201cCrossing Borders: Women\u2019s Stories of Immigration, Migration, and Transition,\u201d <\/a>May 6 \u2013 8, 2016\u2028<\/p>\nThe fifth annual CSWS Northwest Women Writers Symposium will be held Friday, May 6, 2016, through Sunday, May 8 2016. American Book Award winner Reyna Grande is the keynote author. She will be joined by the inimitable Ariel Gore, founding editor\/publisher of Hip Mama<\/em>; Dominican-American poet and novelist Ana-Maurine Lara; novelist Miriam Gershow; novelist Chris Scofield; travel and food magazine writer Jennifer Burns Bright; documentary filmmaker and anthropology professor Lynn Stephen; documentary filmmaker and SOJC professor Gabriela Mart\u00ednez; and others . The symposium includes panel discussions, writing workshops, a keynote talk, author conversations & readings, book signings, and discussion. Our theme is \u201cCrossing Borders: Women\u2019s Stories of Immigration, Migration, and Transition.\u201d This theme promises to open conversations about border politics; poverty; racism and xenophobia; climate change; ongoing effects of colonialism and genocide; family dynamics; agricultural patterns and enslavement; overpopulation; human migratory patterns; fleeing war and abuse; moving on; and traveling for discovery, growth, and as part of our archetypal human journey. How have our migrations and moves contributed to or instigated our writings? What do we move away from, and what do we go toward? What are the historical, political, and personal currents that influence our transitions\u2014from one country to another, from one state to another, from city to country, from mountains to sea, from one marriage or partnership to another, from one career to another, from one self-view to another? \u201cCrossing Borders\u201d is a multi-layered theme that will open the door to fruitful discussions of craft, creativity, challenges of survival, making room for others, and community.<\/p>\nHosted by the Center for the Study of Women in Society at the University of Oregon in cooperation with Eugene Pubic Library, this symposium is generously cosponsored by Oregon Humanities Center\u2019s Endowment for Public Outreach in the Arts, Sciences, and Humanities; UO Libraries; Center for Latino\/a and Latin American Studies; Department of Women\u2019s and Gender Studies; Department of English; School of Journalism and Communication; School of Music and Dance; and the University Health Center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
