X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: <p>GRSJ Assistant Professor Dr. Roseanna Sia 
 will present as part of the Museum of Anthropology's Visual + Material Cult
 ure Research Seminar on Thursday\, Nov. 21.</p><h3>Migrant Girls\, Sound\, 
 and Remaking Space</h3><p>How have migrant girls used sound to transform th
 e everyday spaces they inhabit? This talk considers how migrant girls have 
 materialized sonic imaginaries in their daily environments\, altering the s
 ocial relations that sought to constrain them. Drawing on oral histories\, 
 it explores the rich contributions of Mexican American girls to the sonic c
 ultures of the Texas-Mexico borderlands in the 1930s to 1960s. Mexican Amer
 ican girls developed creative ways to bring song into their daily environme
 nts. They repurposed spaces ranging from the domestic home\, the street\, t
 he bus station\, the pecan sheller workroom\, and the church for the joy an
 d pleasure of song. By developing a sonic borderlands imaginary through gen
 res as varied as flamenco\, bolero\, and tango\, they asserted their presen
 ce as Mexican American girls in the Texas-Mexico borderlands. They powerful
 ly remade the spaces they navigated in their daily lives\, opening up new p
 ossibilities for self-making and community formation.</p><h3 style="font-we
