Each academic year, the program awards Scholarships and Fellowships to nearly seventy students who commit to a full year’s study and participate in the musical life of MIT.Auditions for the program are held at the beginning of each academic year. Private teacher selections, made in consultation with the E/HP jury heads, may include instructors from MIT staff and throughout Greater Boston. The Emerson/Harris Program is funded by the late Mr. Cherry L. Emerson, Jr. (SM, 1941), in response to an appeal from AssociateProvost Ellen T. Harris (Class of 1949 Professor Emeritus of Music). The Emerson/Harris Masterclass Series is supported, in part, by the Robert L.

“Feminist Security Studies in the Americas: Pushing the Fronteras,” edited by Priscyll Anctil convenes voices from across the Americas, creating space for decolonial, anti-racist, and class-based perspectives within feminist security discussions. This led to the formation of the Feminicides and Feminist Security Studies reading group. The reading group’s critical discussions evolved into essays by activists, government workers, and academics featured in the second book, “Feminist Security Studies from Latin America and the Caribbean”, edited by Alessandra Jungs de Almeida. Together, these books represent a collective transnational feminist effort to address security issues from perspectives often marginalized in traditional security studies. Please join us in this panel, where the authors and editors, Priscyll Anctil, Alessandra Jungs de Almeida, and J.C.D. Calderónm, will discuss the two volumes and explore the main theoretical, epistemological, and methodological contributions, including how they contest andro-anglo-centered knowledge production and expand the concept of feminist security.Food will be providedPlease RSVP in advance~
