I am part of the organizing committee for Making Interventions, the 3rd biennial Interventions symposium organized by the Department of Women's Studies Graduate Student Association at the University of Maryland, College Park - to be held on Friday, October 13, 2017.

We envision “interventions” as opportunities for learning and teaching with our students, colleagues, and communities within and outside the University. Making Interventions provides a forum for sharing and developing collaborative, creative, and interdisciplinary feminist scholarship.
