Hispanic Affairs

Life on the Border | October 5 at 2 p.m. | Sandia Room

Gabriela Moreno, Assistant Professor and Language and Linguistics Coordinator for the Heritage Speaker Program at New Mexico State University, earned her Ph.D. in Hispanic Literature with an emphasis in Border Studies. Dr. Moreno presents a talk that captures the essence of life on the border. She steps back in time to reminisce about the moments in history that shaped her Chicana/Fronteriza identity. Gabriela addresses her existence within heterotopias (incompatible spaces) and homotopias (conforming spaces) that help her navigate her imagined communities by creating a Third Space. Her commentary on discursive and social practices in everyday life bring light to the way in which we function within our power relations. This event is co-sponsored with the New Mexico Humanities Council.
