FLAGSTAFF — On Wednesday April 4 @ 6 pm in Cline Library, Author Daisy Hernández will present, “Global Health, Immigration & Narrative Nonfiction.”
How do we talk about the health issues facing immigrant communities in the United States at a time when political discourse is so volatile and xenophobic? Is it possible to avoid the good versus bad immigrant narratives common now in conversations and public policy? Journalist and memoirist Daisy Hernández shares the lessons she’s learned from reporting and writing on infectious diseases, big pharma and the Latin American community.
Daisy Hernández has been writing about race, feminism, immigration and queer sexualities for more than fifteen years. She is the coeditor of the book Colonize This! Young Women of Color on Today’s Feminism and the author of the award-winning memoir A Cup of Water Under My Bed. The former editor of ColorLines magazine, Daisy has reported for The Atlantic, The New York Times, and Slate. Her writing has aired on NPR’s All Things Considered and has been published in many magazines including Tricycle, Rumpus and Fourth Genre. She is an assistant professor in the Creative Writing Program at Miami University in Ohio.
