CCR Bertha Justice Fellow Stephanie Llanes will speak at the closing panel about government power and its ramifications at the Institute for Signifying Scriptures (ISS) Annual Meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina. The theme of this year's meeting is the Nation State, and you can find more information on their website.

The Institute for Signifying Scriptures (ISS) is an independent organization of scholars, researchers, teachers, public intellectuals, artists, community leaders, and social activists—in short, persons of varied backgrounds who are committed to constructing and advancing a new mode of critical inquiry into social–discursive formation.
