Gabriella V. Sanchez
I am a Ph.D. Candidate and undergraduate instructor in the Multicultural Women’s and Gender Studies program at Texas Woman’s University.
I am invested in examining how the mining of memory can recreate both individual and collective narratives that exist outside a colonial imaginary.
Teaching
As a teacher/learner, I recognize that students possess a wealth of experiential, ancestral, and cultural knowledge. I work to create a space that fosters critical thinking and dialogue that helps us connect the theories and concepts we learn in class to larger society and our own lived realities.
