Graduate students working with Vanesa Miseres, Associate Professor, Romance Languages and Literatures, will share their current research based on materials stewarded by Rare Books & Special Collections. Using sources ranging from 19th-century periodicals and cookbooks to early 20th-century manuscripts, the presenters will illustrate how women shaped (and were shaped by) the social spaces and print culture of their time. The session will conclude with a pop-up exhibit in which students will personally guide attendees through the archival materials featured in their research. Conducted in Spanish and Portuguese.
