As well as being an Assistant Professor of Modern Languages and Literatures
at Loyola Marymount University, Alicia Partnoy is a poet, translator, and
human rights activist.
Author of the highly acclaimed The Little School: Tales of Disappearance
and Survival in Argentina and numerous other testimonial texts about
women's struggles for political and economic freedoms, Partnoy is one of
few survivors from the secret detention camps in Argentina in which
approximately 30,000 Argentineans were "disappeared" during the 1970s and
1980s for their political activities.
In "They Bargain with Our Lives: Testimonial Texts and Gendered Experiences," Dr. Partnoy will share her work on Latin American women's testimonials of
oppression.
