When Literature Meets Science: Maria Herrera Cardenas at Bielefeld University
The IAS-Colloquium at Bielefeld University invites you to a lecture that relates literary, social, and cultural perspectives. Maria Herrera Cardenas will speak on June 9, 2026, at 6:00 PM in room X-E0-226 about the politics of visibility, gender, medicalization, and care in Europe and Mexico. The event is free of charge and is aimed at anyone interested in interdisciplinary debates between literature, gender studies, and cultural studies.
An Evening Focused on Analysis and Presence
The lecture is part of the Inter-American Studies colloquium and offers a precise view on how suffering, care, and social legibility are negotiated in different cultural spaces. Those interested in academic lectures with literary and cultural theoretical depth will experience a concentrated author encounter with clear intellectual tension.
Scientific Context with Literary Relevance
Maria Herrera Cardenas represents a research perspective that deals with violence, female visibility, and contemporary literature. Her dissertation, defended in 2024, addresses Violence against Women in Anglophone and Hispanic Contemporary Literature and situates her work at the intersection of the humanities, gender studies, and sociology. This connection makes the evening particularly appealing for a culture-interested audience.
