诺玛·埃利亚Cantú博士.D.
- 总裁Norine R. 和T. Frank Murchison Distinguished Professor of the Humanities , Modern Languages and Literatures
出生在新拉雷多, Tamaulipas and raised in Laredo, 德州, I am intimately bound to the US-Mexico border region. 作为一名学者, I focus on issues of borders and boundaries whether in academic disciplines or the geopolitical borderlands of Mexico and the United States, all through a Chicana feminist theoretical lens. 我写诗和散文, what I call creative autobioethnography, also with a focus on the borderlands and heavily rooted in the cultural traditions of the region. My life formation as a working-class Chicana shapes my intellectual and aesthetic endeavors and impels me to act to deconstruct the oppressive structures that exist in society. I passionately believe that words have power and that literature has the potential to create the change we need. I work with my students to use the power of their stories and their words to create a better world for all sentient beings.
