Dr. Nicki Gonzales and Dr. Lara Narcisi will discuss the latter’s recent book, Radical Empathy in Multicultural Women’s Fiction: From the Library to Liberation. The book calls readers to experience radical empathy through fiction by putting women writers of color’s works in conversation with each other. It forges dialogues between contemporary Asian American, African American and Chicana writers around intersectional topics of race, gender and class, aspiring to inspire readers to take action for social justice. Dr. Narcisi and Dr. Gonzales hope to model this same style of academic conversation around topics of race and gender in both their work.
