Dr. Jina Kim, associate professor of English language and literature and of the study of women and gender at Smith College, will be presenting an overview of her new book, "Care at the End of the World: Dreaming of Infrastructure in Crip-of-Color Writing."

This book examines literature by contemporary authors, including Jesmyn Ward, Octavia Butler, Karen Tei Yamashita, Samuel Delany and Aurora Levins Morales, arguing that these authors highlight alternate structures of care organized around reciprocity and mutual support.
