"Chicana Activism and Reproductive Justice in the Borderlands" by Dr. Lina-Maria Murillo
McCone Irvine Auditorium
The BIPOC Voices Series at MIIS is a milestone in the continued efforts from the student body to create lasting institutional change on campus. This project is a collaboration between the Middlebury Institute’s BIPOC Voices Planning Committee (composed of students, the JEDI Officer and the Director of Student Life), Sustainability Council, Vice President’s Office, Kathryn Wasserman Davis Collaborative in Conflict Transformation Fund, and the Library.
Through this strategic initiative, three BIPOC speakers will be invited to MIIS each semester to share their expertise on a wide range of topics.
The series will emphasize local speakers, student-generated topics, a networking component, and hybrid programming. Speakers will be offered honoraria for their time and perspective, as well as the ability to archive recordings of the series in a dedicated library collection for future reference. Upon successfully launching and implementing the series over an initial two years, the Provost’s Academic Council PAC will consider extending the program for an additional two years.
