Diana Noreen Rivera: Publication News

Diana Rivera's article is titled: "Reconsidering Jovita Gonzalez's Life, Letters, and Pre-1935 Folkloric Production: A Proto-Chicana's Conscious Revolt Against Anglo Academic Patriarchy" will appear in Chicana/Latina Studies Spring 2011 Vol. 10 Issue 2. Noreen's inital ideas for this article grew out of Dr. Jesse Aleman's Fall 2008 Southwest Literature and Film course. However, she owe much gratitude to Dr. Hector
Torres, since she went to him for guidance on how she could theorize her ideas and claims.

Noreen emphasizes how Dr. Torres's professorial mentorship and teachings continue to have a positive impact on graduate student work at UNM. In the "Acknowledgements" section of her article she writes, "[l]astly, I must
thank the late Hector Torres, dearly departed Professor of Chicana/o Literature and Theory at the University of New Mexico. Thank you, Hector, for introducing me to the works of Chela Sandoval.
