El Mundo Zurdo 2015: Memoria y Conocimiento
Interdisciplinary Anzalduan Studies:
Archive, Legacy, and Thought
Ten years ago, scholars and activists at the University of Texas at Austin organized and hosted a memorial for Gloria Anzaldúa in commemoration of her life and work. Activists, artists, and academics from across the country participated in the celebration of Anzaldúas legacy. Following her passing, LLILAS-Benson Latin American Studies and Collections at the University of Texas at Austin became the repository of the Gloria Evangelina Anzaldúa Papers, 1942-2004. Scholars and activists travel from around the globe to work with Gloria Anzaldúas personal papers at the Benson Latin American Library; these include correspondence, written works, audio tape interviews, reviews, clippings, photographs, posters, artwork, and collected materials.
The Center for Mexican American Studies at the University of Texas at Austin, in cooperation with the Society for the Study of Gloria Anzaldúa, are honored to serve as the host of El Mundo Zurdo 2015: Memoria y Conocimiento, Interdisciplinary Anzaldúan Studies: Archive, Legacy, and Thought.
