At Friendship Park at the Tijuana-San Diego Border, a large sign on the border fence reads: “Eres Mi Otro Yo” (translated: “You’re my other self”).  In this guest sermon, Judy Rohrer, PhD, the Director of Women’s and Gender Studies at Eastern Washington University, will talk about her volunteer experience with immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border through Al Otro Lado (“To the other side.”) Dr. Rohrer will be sharing slides from the trip and invite us to contemplate the meaning of “Eres Mi Otro Yo”.

Judy Rohrer is a published author and theorist with expertise in a number of fields that animate critical interdisciplinary scholarship: feminist studies, queer studies, indigenous studies, critical race theory, critical ethnic studies, and disability studies. She is currently Director of the Women’s and Gender Studies program at Eastern Washington University.
