  • SANDRA MORGANA ----- ‘Y Por Quererte Tanto…
    1.- SANDRA MORGANA ----- Y por quererte tanto… Por el aspecto que presenta la cama, ha debido estar toda la noche peleando con alguien; seguramente, con la otra parte de ella misma. Todavía no tiene el equipaje terminado. Aun así Sandra desayuna con la parsimonia acostumbrada; lo mismo le da salir a una hora u otra. Pareciese que va al fin del mundo y para la toda la vida. Pero sólo es un largo verano lo que tiene por delante -en el pueblecito pesquero de siempre: Redes- para dejar atrás el bullicio, el calor, los enredos… Sin embargo aquella historia había resultado algo más que un simple enredo. Desde la ducha oye la música del móvil. Lo ignora. Quien quiera que sea ya volverá a llamar si realmente tiene interés en hablar con ella. -“Hola, igual aun estás durmiendo. Te llamo más tarde”- dice la voz del contestador. Su voz. Sólo que cuando habla así, de corrido, suena extraña. Un poco máquina. Definitivamente artificial. Sandra se agarra a esta idea para no ceder, para no pulsar la tecla “responder” y volver a oírle en vivo y en directo. No. Esto ha terminado. Recuerda la letra de aquella canción: ”No quiero volver a soñar despierto/ni a ver un oasis en el desierto de tu corazón/soy tan solo un peón para ti”. Mientras termina el equipaje, Sandra repasa los tres últimos años en los que ha estado sometida a un continuo tira y afloja. No es que él fuese un ser indeciso que no sabía elegir, sino que lo quería todo, así que no podía decidirse por dejar nada.

La protesta pacífica de Ricardo Ward, etnólogo y la versión trans del Sr. Barriga, para regresar la estatua del doctor Rafael Lucio que desapareció del Paseo de la Reforma. Sus flores iniciaron en marzo de 2016, semana a semana dejando un ramo de flores coloridas. Su lucha dio frutos hasta 2019, cuando el gobierno de la ciudad dio respuesta a la petición de Ricardo de regresar la escultura.

  • Spanish Heritage Speakers and University-Led Service Learning: Promoting Student Agency, Identity Work, and Reflection
    Spanish heritage speakers and university-led service learning: Promoting student agency, identity work, and reflection. María Ciriza Texas Christian University Marco Shappeck University of North Texas at Dallas Steven Arxer University of North Texas at Dallas Abstract When institutions of higher education apply a practicum-oriented pedagogical approach to credit bearing coursework, they frequently focus on community service learning or other iterations of volunteerism. Ser- vice learning courses often times overlook the disparate socio-political inequalities of the two participating groups. The service learning project we developed with our Spanish heritage speakers who taught Adult ESL at a local public library draws on three relevant lines of inquiry: critical language teaching, language socia- lization, and action research pedagogy. We review the research that informed our curricular decisions and describe some of the activities that evoked reflective dialogue with Spanish heritage speakers as we worked collaboratively on managing the ESL program at the library. 1. Introduction One of the unfortunate casualties of Dallas’ austerity policies in 2009-10 involved the pu- blic library system which had offered longstanding Adult ESL (English as a Second Language) classes at nearly all of the city’s library branches. Funds that had supported Adult ESL and other family literacy programs were completely eliminated from the budget. By 2011, families who sought English language resources overwhelmed other volunteer programs in the city and ultimately failed to find one that could accommodate their schedules and childcare needs. One of the local branch managers approached our (co-authors’) university to collaboratively develop English family literacy courses at a bustling library in a predominantly Spanish-English bilin- gual neighborhood.

  • As I Enter My 5 Grade Classroom, I Smell a Cluster Of
    As I enter my 5th grade classroom, I smell a cluster of delicious foods enticing my taste buds to come in the classroom further. My classmates clearly had the same idea, as they rapidly came flooding into the classroom to gaze upon the mouthwatering foods placed on the table near our teachers desk. I soon realized that I almost forgot, today our class is having a fiesta for the last day before the winter break that goes from December to January. Today is a well awaited day. We have been working so hard this whole month and are extremely excited to finally enjoy ourselves together for the last day. The overwhelming smells from the food sitting on the table looking delicious and taunting soon draws back my attention again. However, this is not your typical party food selection. This was a “¡FIESTA!” after all. There are tamales, salsa, tortillas, empanadas, guacamole, flan, enchiladas, sopa de arroz, churros, fajitas, pupusas, y también pozole. However, not all of these foods are rare or exotic foods to us. If you were to show this selection of food to any regular person living within the United States, they could easily identify these foods and even possibly with correct pronunciation. Yet these people had almost no Spanish background. How was this possible…? Spanish culture has had a huge influence on the culture of the United States. The United States culture has evolved several times over a series of years, incorporating the cultural influences of other nations, creating a multicultural identity within the United States. Spanish foods have obviously been a huge influence on American culture.
