ASWM Online Scholar Salon

Feminism on the Borderlands with Dr Monica Mody

Tuesday, April 16, 2019,  3:00 – 4:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time

ASWM is hosting conversations with scholars about issues relating to women and mythology.  In order to be eligible to participate, renew your membership before April 13, 2019. We will send the  Zoom call in information to all current members on April 14.

How do we move into the borderlands and reclaim our full relationship with modernity, secularization, and the shadow spaces in our own psyches? How do we relate to the shadow produced by European and western modes of being, thinking and relating to the world, to each other and to ourselves? What do we need to give up? What do we reclaim and bring to the surface?

Let’s have a lively discussion on these questions that transcend disciplines and affect our daily and creative lives as women.  Join Dr. Monica Mody for an inspiring discussion on discovering the shadow projects of modernity and secularization from the perspective of feminist and borderlands spirituality and scholarship.

Monica Mody holds a PhD in East West Psychology from California Institute of Integral Studies, where she worked on a cross-genre dissertation on the decolonized feminist consciousness in an Anzalduan framework of the borderlands. Monica is a trained dancer and an internationally published poet.

Our salon is moderated by Dr. Gayatri Devi, Associate Professor of English at Lock Haven University, and longtime member of the ASWM Board.
