Mujeres Talk is “an online, interdisciplinary, edited, and moderated forum for the circulation and discussion of original research, commentary, and creative work in brief and diverse formats such as essays (500-1500 words), multimedia presentations, and short video. They focus on Chicana, Latina, and Native American women’s work. However, they continue to welcome work from allies and diverse racial and ethnic authors within and outside of these categories. As a forum, they host conversations on important topics and publish single-author or collaborative work. Though they publish under the sign of “Mujeres,” they invite authors of all genders to contribute to the project. All posts represent the views of individual authors. All submissions are reviewed by two members of the Editorial Board to ensure that they are appropriate for the venue, offer an original and interesting perspective, cite relevant research where necessary, and meet the length requirements. Mujeres Talk also publishes simultaneous cross-posts with peer sites provided the essay, multimedia or creative work appears on both sites on the same day and both sites agree to note simultaneous publication. They publish original work, written for the site, and occasionally republish work relevant to their vision and goals from other online and print venues.

It is important to have a basic understanding of web page navigation, understand how links work, and understand how to cite a source correctly.

Due to the specificity of this project, I do not feel that another program could adequately provide the same resources or do the same work.

One should keep in mind how systemic racism plays into these experiences for context and understanding of the full meaning of the works. Being interested in sociology, prose writing and social justice would be beneficial.
