Presentation by Cklara Moradian“Mapping the Invisible: On Kurdish Womyn and the Embodiment of Perpetual Assault,”

















Dear Friends,

This coming Monday November 29th, 2010, I will have the honor of presenting part of my work in progress:
“Mapping the Invisible: On Kurdish Womyn and the Embodiment of Perpetual Assault,”
at a forum on Gendered Violence organized by the CSULA Center for the Study of Genders and Sexualities, and the dedicated students in PHIL/WOMN 413: Issues in Feminist Philosophy led by the amazing Dr. Anna Carastathis.
I have attached the poster and schedule for your viewing. I would love to see some of you there if you have time.
If you are on campus, you can always come during the hours that you're not in class/work yourself.

In the light of this short notice and the timing of the forum (day-time), I will make my paper available on-line in the coming weeks for anyone who might be interested in viewing it.

Note to students interested in Feminist Philosophy and/or FMLA members, this is a great forum to pick up relevant materials. Our prolific Dr. Talia Bettcher will also be presenting at this event.

Much due respect,


Cklara Moradian

RESEARCH POSTER SESSION
12:45-1:30 PM, KING HALL D4051
Posters were created by BA and MA students in PHIL/WOMN 413 in order to share with the
broader community a process of independent inquiry and the results of students’ initial research.
Each student focuses on a form or an aspect of gendered violence, formulates a research question
and argues for a thesis informed by preliminary research. Each poster also showcases an activist
organization that aims to combat or eliminate the form of violence under discussion. As you view
the posters, please feel free to ask the creators of the posters any questions, or share with them
any comments you have about their research project.
