Biography
A recent transplant to Florida from Oakland, California, I earned a PhD in Chicana and Chicano Studies, with a doctoral emphasis in Feminist Studies and a Certificate in College and University Teaching, from the University of California Santa Barbara. My teaching and research interests include: multiraciality; women of color feminisms; qualitative methodologies, specifically oral history and autoethnography; comparative U.S. history; multimedia narrative formats; and critical whiteness studies.
I have worked as a case manager in women's and children's shelters, a housing rights organizer, and a bilingual educator in an after school program for girls. I am originally from Vermont, and while I have lived for the last seven years in California, I have also lived in: El Paso, TX; Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua; central New York State; Mendoza, Argentina; Tucson, AZ; and North Carolina. When not teaching and writing, I read novels, bake, visit family, and draw, paint, and take photographs.
