PUBLIC  PROGRAMS

 

Casa de María Publisher’s public programs extend our publishing mission into shared spaces of dialogue, reflection, and civic engagement. Through literary gatherings, institutional collaborations, and community-centered conversations, we position storytelling as a form of public service, cultural preservation, and social responsibility.

 

Women’s History Month Public Program

 

During Women’s History Month, Casa de María Publisher will present a public literary program hosted at Yale University’s Dwight Hall Center for Public Service and Social Justice, a historic center for civic engagement at Yale University.

 

For more than a century, Dwight Hall has served as a hub for public service and social justice initiatives, supporting students, scholars, and community partners committed to addressing social inequities through education, advocacy, and direct engagement. Its work emphasizes ethical responsibility, community partnership, and sustained reflection as foundations for meaningful public service.

 

Casa de María Publisher’s public programming aligns with this tradition by situating literature within broader conversations about social justice, youth advocacy, and survivor-centered care. Through storytelling, dialogue, and community engagement, this program reflects a shared commitment to using education and creative expression as tools for public service and collective responsibility.

 

This public program will feature three published authors whose work engages youth advocacy and efforts to address and prevent domestic violence. Through readings and moderated discussion, the program will explore how lived experience informs literary advocacy and how storytelling can support awareness, reflection, and community dialogue.
