  • Writer-in-Residence. He grew up in a family of immigrant farmworkers from Mexico. Now he writes award-winning books. He is the author of four books of poetry, three young adult novels, a novel, a story collection, and three books of nonfiction. His new collection of poems is scheduled to be published in 2019. “Most of the adults in our household did not know how to read in any language,” González said when he revisited his childhood memories. “Something as basic as literacy made the difference

  • did in high school, and those took adjusting. But it was good to get that adjustment and Montevideo – where we stayed – is a small enough city that you can feel safe and have fun. It was a very good “dipping your foot in the water” type experience. It’s also really nice for the Hispanic studies program because it’s language intensive, and the class sped me up through the program in general.  A semester in Granada: I loved Granada. Probably my favorite place was Mirador de san Nicolas, which is

  • community transformation. Many of my sources argue that feminist pedagogy begins first with teachers who are unapologetically feminist and allow that to guide their curriculum which means valuing each and every student but also encouraging and empowering all aspects of their identities and cultures.

  • possesses and appropriates her image, dominates the expression of her form, and not only receives her love, but attempts to take her fortune. His last name “Lockhart” is also synonymous with “lock heart”, as if he could chain love or love’s pretense. The implications of Charles, as a white man, capturing Georgiana, a Black woman, by making her into a kind of property is unnerving. A viewer may accept Charles’s language as romantic in a patriarchal society where “ownership” and “possession” are

  • musty smell and crinkly feel of old yellow pages and wondering who, in 1954, was the first person to check out this copy of Descartes’ Meditations. You will find out that one of the best places to study is up in the Language Resource Center on the third floor. If you sit at the back of the room and look out the window, you can see the lawn and trees north of Harstad, and the people scurrying across the grass to get to work or class. Occasionally during the damp days of fall and spring, they don’t

  • national security interests of the United States. The region includes China, which is rapidly assuming prominence on the global stage.
