My Interview with Ana Castillo

This Rhetorical Life Podcast

This past summer, I had the privilege of teaching with Chicana writer Ana Castillo for the Bread Loaf School of English in Santa Fe, NM. While we were in Santa Fe, I had the opportunity to sit down with Ana and interview her for the This Rhetorical Life podcast out of Syracuse University. We had a chance to discuss different aspects of writing, her recent memoir Black Dove: Mamá, Mi'jo, and Meand how Chicana feminism can help us to think about this current historical moment.

Bread Loaf Teacher Network Twitter Chat

This evening I was invited to take part in the Bread Loaf Teacher Network Twitter Chat on Language Difference. Here is the Storify that I put together from the engaging discussion.

#BLTN Twitter Chat

Bread Loaf Teachers Network Twitter Chat

This evening at 5pm Pacific on Twitter, I'll be taking part in the Bread Loaf Teachers Network chat on Linguistic Diversity. Using the hashtag #BLTN, we'll be discussing how K-12 English teachers seek to incorporate different heritage languages in the classroom. Below is the flyer that Lorena German was nice enough to put together for the Twitter chat.
