Understanding the Information Behavior, Needs, and Networks of Undocustudents in Higher Education
UndocuLives: Understanding the Information Behavior, Needs, and Networks of UndocuStudents in Higher Education Verónica E. Guajardo A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2018 Reading Committee: Ricardo Gomez, Chair Negin Dahya Megan Ybarra Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Information School © Copyright 2018 Verónica E. Guajardo ii University of Washington Abstract UndocuLives: Understanding the Information Behavior, Needs, and Networks of UndocuStudents in Higher Education Verónica E. Guajardo Chair of Supervisory Committee: Ricardo Gomez Information School Technology use and information consumption appears omnipresent in the lives of many modern U.S. college students, central to everything from social media posting to opening a free email account needed for most basic online transactions. Information regarding college admissions, deadlines, standardized tests scoring and financial aid can be daunting for many students. It is exponentially more so for undocumented students who must consider legal and financial barriers. Like many immigrants, undocumented populations understand access to education is important and can help create opportunities with greater economic potential, especially for undocumented students. For many in the undocumented community, education and a ‘better future’ for themselves and their children, is one of the main reasons for their migration in the first place. Annually, an estimated “65,000 undocumented students graduate from U.S. high schools” (Dream Act: Fact Sheet, 2010). However, only about 5% to 10% enroll in higher education and iii 1% to 3% graduate from college each year (Russell, 2011), with an even smaller number continuing into graduate school. In Washington State, the undocu-movement advanced with the passage of the 2003 historic law that granted eligibility for in-state tuition rates for undocu-students who previously were charged at international student rate, about twice the rate as in-state tuition. -
Dear Workshoppers, Thank You for Taking the Time to Read and Discuss
Gerónimo Sarmiento Cruz Chapter I, 5/15 Draft — do not circulate Dear workshoppers, Thank you for taking the time to read and discuss my work. What follows is still a rough draft of the first chapter of my dissertation, provisionally titled Anational Poetics. In brief, by anational I mean an approach to an order of ideas, images, and concepts whose construction and inner logics are independent of the socio-historical ubiquity of the nation. Mainly relying on two concepts, Deleuze and Guattari’s minor literature and James C. Scott’s hidden transcripts, I am elaborating the anational as a hermeneutics allowing us to read against the backdrop of the nation in order to trace and constellate alternative accounts of collectivities as formulated by minority poetries and poetics. The chapter I am workshopping analyzes the work of Gloria Anzaldúa through the lens of the nation form. In relation to the anational, a lot of the work I do in this chapter is still preparatory—I begin to sketch the concept only towards the end of the chapter. I apologize for the length of the document, yet it is important for me that I workshop the entire thing so that I can assess whether the chapter-format is actually working well and conveying what I intend. If you’re pressed for time, you can read the intro and first section only. I would like to receive all feedback you’re willing to provide; yet more specifically I would like to hear your thoughts on the coherence and legibility of the theory employed and on the pertinence and persuasiveness of the structure as prefatory to the anational. -
Re-Imagining United States History Through Contemporary Asian American and Latina/O Literature
LATINASIAN NATION: RE-IMAGINING UNITED STATES HISTORY THROUGH CONTEMPORARY ASIAN AMERICAN AND LATINA/O LITERATURE Susan Bramley Thananopavarn A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: María DeGuzmán Jennifer Ho Minrose Gwin Laura Halperin Ruth Salvaggio © 2015 Susan Bramley Thananopavarn ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Susan Thananopavarn: LatinAsian Nation: Re-imagining United States History through Contemporary Asian American and Latina/o Literature (Under the direction of Jennifer Ho and María DeGuzmán) Asian American and Latina/o populations in the United States are often considered marginal to discourses of United States history and nationhood. From laws like the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act to the extensive, racially targeted immigration rhetoric of the twenty-first century, dominant discourses in the United States have legally and rhetorically defined Asian and Latina/o Americans as alien to the imagined nation. However, these groups have histories within the United States that stretch back more than four hundred years and complicate foundational narratives like the immigrant “melting pot,” the black/white binary, and American exceptionalism. This project examines how Asian American and Latina/o literary narratives can rewrite official histories and situate American history within a global context. The literary texts that I examine – including works by Carlos Bulosan, Américo Paredes, Luis Valdez, Mitsuye Yamada, Susan Choi, Achy Obejas, Karen Tei Yamashita, Cristina García, and Siu Kam Wen – create a “LatinAsian” view of the Americas that highlights and challenges suppressed aspects of United States history. -

The New Mestiza and La Nepantlera
1 The NewMestiza and La Nepantlera Borders—barbed-wire, wooden, sometimes invisible—separating, con- straining, restricting. Seeing, sensing anew. Borderlands—where cultures, ideas, norms, selves are remade, reconfigured, where pain mingles with uncertainty, fear, anxiety, creativity, and new possibilities. The new mestiza lives there. The shadow beast is her strong will, unfreezing her so she can take a stance, so she can change. The new mestiza is the shadow that walks hand in hand with the words on these pages, leading us away from tidy, unified selves. It is good company. In this chapter, I discuss Gloria Anzaldúa’s explorations of selfhood, in particular her account of the new mestiza,1 one of Anzaldúa’s most impor- tant contributions in her celebrated text Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza, a deeply intersectional text that has been influential in various disciplines, including border studies, literary studies, women’s studies, queer studies, and many others (Anzaldúa 1987).2 Given this text’s tremendous appeal, the force of the ideas in it, and the fact that it has become canoni- cal in some circles, it is important for me to approach it with caution as I wish to remain respectful of Anzaldúa’s words but also to have a reflective, critical edge as I engage with them.3 My first reading ofBorderlands/La Frontera was a powerful experience. Anzaldúa’s words touched me deeply; they moved me in a way that few texts had done before. Her profound awareness of the intersecting, inter- meshed nature of her multiple oppressions and her moving autohistoria, what I would call her lived-theory, pierced me.4 Reading about her struggles in the borderlands struck me intellectually and viscerally, given my own experience as a Latina who felt displaced and who often wondered about the question of home ever since revolution transformed my life, and many other Nicaraguans’ daily lives in the summer of 1979. -
