JFRC Conference on Mediterranean Women
In recent decades, the Mediterranean region has undergone a great population shift as the area has changed from a source of emigrants to a destination for immigrants. Even as many Mediterranean countries have recently struggled with poverty and unemployment, large populations fleeing persecution and ethnic strife have arrived on their shores. This April, the John Felice Rome Center will host an international conference discussing migrant women’s challenges and contributions in the new Mediterranean world. The conference, featuring speakers from around the globe, will focus on faith and tradition, politics and human rights, media and arts, and Mediterranean feminism.
Susana Cavallo, PhD, professor of Spanish and associate director of the JFRC, is the conference coordinator. For more information, please visit http://LUC.edu/romecenter/internationalconference.shtml.
