Chicana/Latina Studies: The Journal of Mujeres Activas en Letras y Cambio Social calls for participation in the Writing Workshop at the 2011 MALCS Summer Institute at California State University, Los Angeles, August 3-7, 2011. DEADLINE: Postmark July 1, 2011
WHAT: Feminist collaboration for publication!
The Writing Workshop is one of the Journal’s formal methods of creating a feminist editorial process. Following the spirit and mission of MALCS, the journal’s editors offer the workshop in order to energize through collaboration, programmatically link scholarship and leadership, and institutionalize mentorship. Participants bring their work-in-progress and depart with clear recommendations for meeting internal criteria of Chicana/Latina Studies, specific direction about revision, and first-hand knowledge about our feminist editorial production process.
To create an intellectual community, prior to the workshop, participants read and commented on the material of the other writers. Attending both two-hour sessions (the first on Weds. Aug. 3, and the second on Friday Aug. 5) is required.
One Writing Workshop will be offered this summer:
1) The Academic Article: A Writing Workshop, facilitated by Dr. Karen Mary Davalos, former editor of Chicana/Latina Studies.
DATES and TIMES: Aug. 3 at 3:00-5:00 p.m. and Aug. 5 at 8:00-10:00 a.m. Participants may arrive on Tuesday, Aug 2, but must contact the Cal State LA Site Committee to arrange housing. The workshop will begin at 3:00 p.m. on Weds., Aug. 3 and continue on Friday Aug. 5 at 8:00 a.m. of the MALCS Summer Institute. This schedule means that participants miss only one hour of the MALCS Summer Institute programs.
WHY: It really works!
Past participants who have been published in the journal are: Dora Ramirez-Dhoor (5:1), Rosalia Solorzano Torres (5:1), Ann Marie Leimer (5:2), Patricia Trullijo (6:1), Carmelita “Rosie” Castañeda (7:2), Marivel Danielson (7:2), M.

La Cámara de Diputados aprobó la minuta del Senado por la cual se expide la nueva Ley de Migración, con lo que se busca frenar agresiones en contra de migrantes, y obliga a las instituciones del Estado a respetar los derechos humanos de los indocumentados.
Los legisladores federales también aprobaron el dictamen para crear la policía fronteriza, que estará bajo la dirección del Ministerio Público y tendrá facultades para prevenir delitos y realizar vigilancia de puertos, aeropuertos y zonas fronterizas.
Establece que el nuevo cuerpo de seguridad dependerá de los recursos con los que cuenta la Policía Federal, y se especializará en el combate el tráfico de armas, explosivos, insumos para el fomento de la adulteración de medicinas, bebidas alcohólicas o cualquier otra sustancia de consumo humano, así como vigilar los procedimientos en materia aduanal.
La policía fronteriza perseguirá también la trata de personas y el tráfico de órganos, además de establecer rangos de control y protección a los derechos humanos.
