CFP: Latina/Chicana Mothering – deadline extended to 10/31

CALL FOR PAPERS

Demeter Press is seeking submissions for an edited collection on
Latina/Chicana Mothering
Publication Date: Fall 2010
Editors: Dorsía Smith Silva and Janine Santiago

We are very excited to edit an interdisciplinary book on mothering in the Latina and Chicana communities.  We seek papers that examine the narratives, histories, practices, and theories of Latina and Chicana mothering as they reflect the realities and complexities of diverse perspectives.  Latina and Chicana mothering is a rich experience, which engenders a sense of identity, multiple viewpoints, and cultural orientations.  Here, the Latina/Chicana mothering experience seeks to provide a site for inquiry of those life histories and legacies, which have been marked by undergoing childbirth, raising children, or becoming mothers, as well as transatlantic mothers.  One of the main goals of this text will be to examine the complex representations of Latina and Chicana mothering and to address the space where Latina and Chicana perspectives are in many cases rendered invisible.

Student seeks ESL expertise

To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Amy Diaz and I am Harvard student working for fluenz.org, an early stage non-profit organization looking to create a survival English program for low-income Spanish speaking immigrants and refugees in the US. Right now, we are in the research phase of our project, looking for the best way to serve this population. I was hoping to conduct informational interviews with members of your group who have experience teaching ESL classes to these populations. Your help will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for your time.
