Fresh Perspectives: Celebrating 25 years of "Meridians" at Smith

September 26, 2025–March 29, 2026

For 25 years, Meridians journal has published scholarship and creative work at the intersection of feminism, race and transnationalism on Smith’s campus. In its 25th anniversary issue, themes of identity, perception, and spirituality connect across different contexts and cultures. In the words of featured author El-Sherif, these works allow us “to see ourselves more clearly, to know ourselves better in order to live better.”
