The Syracuse University Humanities Center will host one of the most important feminist voices in Spanish literature.
Laura Freixas, a world-renowned author, teacher-scholar, critic, translator, and proponent of women's literature, will serve as the Humanities Center's 2016 Jeanette K. Watson Distinguished Visiting Professor, March 29-April 8. The Barcelona-born writer is known for her best-selling anthology Mothers and Daughters (Anagram, 1996).
The Humanities Center is based in the College of Arts and Sciences.
"To have Laura Freixas in residence is a rare opportunity for students and scholars alike," says Vivian May, director of the Humanities Center and an associate professor of women's & gender studies. "Known for her pure, unapologetic writing style, she is not afraid to put forward basic existential questions about love, friendship, marriage, and children. There is probably no one else like her in all of modern Spanish fiction."
