Literatures of the Crisis and Women in Contemporary Spain:  A conversation
Lindsey Reuben Muñoz,  Lehigh University
Marta Pérez-Carbonell, Colgate University 
 
In the aftermath of the economic collapse of 2008, Spanish literature began to reckon with the multi-layered experience of women in globalized Spain. In recent years, waves of new political feminism have only deepened this examination, exerting pressure from below to the emergent political parties, while underscoring notions of care, domestic violence, domestic and informal work, ecological policies, and urban livelihood within a broad democratic horizon. Please join scholars Lindsey Reuben Muñoz (Lehigh University) and Marta 
Pérez-Carbonell (Colgate University) in an informal dialogue whose aim is to understand the implications and political limits of this new literary turn, broadly in the context of Spain as a “new” globalized country but also, more specifically, in the wake of the global pandemic.
