CWU Libraries presents Cultural Conversations: Claudia Wright

The Cultural Conversations program provides a community forum for meeting new friends and learning about global cultures. Our storyteller this spring quarter is Claudia Wright, originally from Colombia, who brings a wealth of experience to her role as a dedicated researcher. Her academic journey has taken her through both academia and the private industry, shaping her research interests in migration, motherhood, gender, education, and consumer culture. As a qualitative researcher, Claudia has immersed herself in various rural, urban, and minority communities, enriching her understanding of the complex ideologies and social constructs that influence our beliefs and behaviors. Currently, Claudia's research focuses on migrant motherhood, exploring how intersectional identities shape migration trajectories. She also delves into other areas of interest, such as the gender gap in higher education, fatherhood, consumption patterns, and healthcare dynamics. At Central Washington University, Claudia shares her expertise through courses such as Principles of Sociology, Sociology of Gender, Sociology of Immigration, and Sociology of Family. Come join us for her presentation titled "Unraveling the Magic of Disney's "Encanto".
