(Un)Making Sylvia Likens: Towards a Theory of Femicide Narratives

Description

About Indy Reads Books (from their website): "A Bookstore with a Cause
Our independent bookstore is one of the few bookstores in downtown Indianapolis. The bookstore is a source of revenue for the nonprofit organization Indy Reads, whose mission is to promote and improve the literacy of adults and families in Central Indiana. The profits from Indy Reads Books go directly Indy Reads to improve the literacy and English language proficiency of adult learners in our community.

We sell used and new books for adults and children, and almost any book you need can be special ordered. Each purchase makes the gift of reading possible for adult learners."

I will be giving a lecture on my PhD project, which focuses on the 1965 murder of Sylvia Marie Likens in Indianapolis.

From the website:
"Anne Bettina Pedersen will present on her current PhD project, "(Un)Making Sylvia Likens: Towards a Theory on Femicide Narratives" - which examines the portrayal of victims of femicide in popular culture and discusses the ethical considerations and costs of giving voice to or highjacking stories of victims of femicide. Her specific focus is the 1965 murder of Sylvia Marie Likens in Indianapolis and the various narratives based on or inspired by this specific murder. This project is creating bridges between academia, art, and activism. This event is perfect for people who are interested in TV, gender studies, and true crime!"
