What will your Gift Make Possible?

The MALCS Summer Institute, held annually since 1986, is an opportunity for scholars and community members to gather to network, share research and information, offer support and re-energize. In addition to panels, roundtables and plenaries, the MALCS Summer Institute hosts a publishing workshop and presents the Tortuga Award to a member who has used her expertise, experience and commitment to support and advance the MALCS mission and to a community activist.

Chicana/Latina Studies: The Journal of MALCS is the only interdisciplinary, peer reviewed academic journal publishing in English and Spanish dedicated to exploring Chicana/Latina experiences through research articles, literary criticism, creative writing, review essays, occasional commentaries, and book reviews.
