‌In The Force of Witness Dr. Rosa-Linda Fregoso examines  the contra feminicide movement in Mexico and other   feminist efforts to eradicate gender violence. Drawing on  interviews, art, documentaries, and her years of activism,  Fregoso shows how different forms of witnessing—from  activist-mothers, experts in court cases to communal and  scholaractivist-citizens—are key to resisting feminicidal  violence. She will be in dialogue with Dr. Sylvanna Falcón,  Huerta Center director and Latin American and Latino  Studies (LALS) associate professor. This free and public event is co-sponsored with the LALS department.
