LALS Assistant Professor Sylvanna Falcón, and her soon-to-be-released book "Power Interrupted: Antiracist and Feminist Activism inside the United Nations", were featured at the University of Washington Press Blog just in time for International Women's day.

Quoting Assitant Professor Jessica Taft, Sylvanna is "an excellent representative for IWD".

Acording to The University of Washington Press Blog:

"Falcón situates contemporary antiracist feminist organizing from the Americas alongside a critical historical reading of the UN and its agenda against racism. Her analysis of UN antiracism spaces, in particular the 2001 WCAR, considers how an intersectionality approach broadened opportunities for feminist organizing at the global level."
