[Englecturers] FYI: Cherrie Moraga at UCR

[Steven Axelrod]

Dear Students and Colleagues:
CHERRIE MORAGA will be speaking at UC Riverside this SUNDAY, February  
18, 11 am at the University Theater as part of the Western Regional  
LGBTQIA College Conference. This student organized conference begins  
Thursday, February 15 with many exciting and important speakers and  
events, including new performance work by Adelina Anthony. For  
registration and schedule go to www.uclgbtia.org/conference2007/ 
schedule.html.

Cherrie Moraga is one of the most important voices of Chicana/o  
literature and cultural studies. Her insistence on the centrality of  
gender and sexuality have revolutionized Chicana/o critical  
discourse. Her works include the cross-genre memoir LOVING IN THE WAR  
YEARS/LO QUE NUNCA PASO POR SUS LABIOS and the collection of plays,  
HEROES AND SAINTS AND OTHER PLAYS. Her ground-breaking work also  
includes the co-edited volume THIS BRIDGE CALLED MY BACK with Gloria  
Anzaldua.

I want to personally invite you to join me this Sunday for what will  
undoubtedly be a provocative and moving lecture. Please lend your  
support by widely announcing this event to friends and colleagues  
both at the university and in the community.

Saludos,
Tiffany Ana Lopez
Associate Professor
Department of English
