Letters & Science (College of) / English

Description

Cuentos de Confianza is a bilingual, public humanities project that is informed by theories and methods in feminist ethnography, the rhetoric of health and medicine, reproductive justice, and community literacy studies. It creates space for promotores de salud (Latinx health promoters) to share their stories about working with sexual and reproductive health. It also is a space for reflecting on how their life experiences have impacted their understanding of reproductive justice. The website was created to share the promotores’ stories with community members, other promotores, and people interested in advancing reproductive justice and Latinx community health. This research will focus on qualitative methods to investigate the bilingual user experiences of accessing the various parts of the website and engaging with it for community programming. It will draw from the field of Technical Communication to examine how different users engage the content in Spanish and English across the website.
