    <div><br></div>The semester is flying by, Spring Break is almost upon us! We at PROMISE realize that we haven't had an opportunity this semester to gather around, drink coffee, and eat donuts with you all! As such, we've decided to host an informal gathering at Commons 329 and hope you will join us. We will provide the coffee and donuts to share and invite you to stop to say hi and catch up with us and other graduate students.<div><br></div>
    <div>We (Dr. Robin Cresiski and Yarazeth Medina) will be available to talk about the Grad Student and Postdoc Development Office (GSPD), PROMISE, the calendar of professional development events, our latest Netflix Binges, and hopefully, create even more of an opportunity for you to meet fellow grad students in other departments. We would love to help you develop a deeper sense of community here on campus. If you just feel like stopping for free coffee and a donut, you are more than welcome to do so as well! </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Please click on "Going" below so we can be sure to have enough coffee and donuts for all who plan to attend. </div>

    <span>Asha
     Nadkarni is Associate Professor of English at the University of 
    Massachusetts Amherst. Her research and teaching interests include 
    postcolonial literature and theory, transnational feminist theory, US 
    empire studies, and Asian American studies, with an emphasis on the 
    literatures and cultures of the South Asian diaspora. Her book,</span><span> </span><em>Eugenic Feminism: Reproductive Nationalism in the United States and India</em><span> </span><span>(University
     of Minnesota Press, 2014), traces connections between U.S. and Indian 
    nationalist feminisms to suggest that both launch their claims to 
    feminist citizenship based on modernist constructions of the 
    reproductive body as the origin of the nation. She is working on a 
    second book project, tentatively titled</span><span> </span><em>From Opium to Outsourcing</em><span>, that focuses on representations of South Asian labor in a global context.</span>
