FEMINIST SCHOLAR FROM ARGENTINA TO LECTURE FRIDAY AT VA. TECH

Feminist scholar Nora Feminia of Buenos Aires, Argentina, will lecture on Friday at Virginia Tech as part of the 1991-92 lecture series on women's issues in urban affairs and planning.

Feminia will discuss "Women's Identity in Argentina: From Dictatorship and Repression to the Free Market," a free presentation that will begin at 3:30 p.m. in room G of the Donaldson Brown Center.

Feminia is the author of several works on the mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, including the recently published book "I Am My Own Woman: The Path of Women Towards Their Own Identity."

She also has served as a consultant on women and on assertiveness training for various Argentine labor unions.

A family counselor for 20 years, Feminia holds a master's degree in social sciences from the Latin American Faculty of Social Sciences in Buenos Aires and is working on a doctorate in conflict resolution at Syracuse University.

The series is sponsored by the Department of Urban Affairs and Planning in the College of Architecture and Urban Studies and the Virginia Tech Women Artists and Scholars Lecture Series.
