Against Fear and Terror: \u00c2\u00a0Una Nueva Conciencia Sin Fronteras<\/em><\/p>\n

MALCS is a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153national organization of Chicanas\/Latinas and Native American women working in academia and in community settings with a common goal: to work toward the support, education and dissemination of Chicana\/Latina and Native American women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s issues.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00c2\u00a0The theme this year aims to foreground the academic and activist endeavors contesting the current framing of citizenship and belonging through binaries such as immigrant\/non-immigrant that ignore lived relationship, histories and transformative practices in rights-based struggles.<\/p>\n

In the past decade, our communities have confronted multiple forms of boundary making processes, greater surveillance, policing and restrictionist policies. In many ways, these developments ignore longstanding economic and cultural relationships and emphasize conflict, fear and exclusion. \u00c2\u00a0 The erasure of our histories, the denial of our rights and even the criminalization of our right to livelihood, rights to education and rights to family life, in all its diverse formations, push academics and activists to explore these processes as they manifest in institutions, communities and neighborhoods within and outside the state, within our very bodies.<\/p>\n

We are interested in how our work negotiates –through our diverse locations of class, sexuality, nation and generation, our stories, music, poetry, visual art and foodways, etc. –the negative portrayals and marginalization of our communities to (re)affirm our humanity and our rights. \u00c2\u00a0 We seek a variety of work that explores the pursuit of a socially just and inclusive society beyond borders: \u00c2\u00a0“Against Fear and Terror: Una Nueva Conciencia Sin Fronteras.”<\/p>\n
