SUMMARY:Cherrie Moraga Lecture; Change of Keynote Speakers for the Raquel Rubio Goldsmith Lecture/Scholarship Fundraiser Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 30\, 2026\n11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.\nUniversity Park Marriott\nTucson\, Arizona\nREGISTRATION IS REQUIRED TO ATTEND. REGISTER HERE \nDue to recent\, nationally publicized events\, we have had a change of keynote speakers for the Raquel Rubio Goldsmith Lecture/Scholarship Fundraiser Luncheon.  We are excited and proud to announce our new speaker is literary icon\, Cherríe Moraga. \nCherríe Moraga is a highly acclaimed and internationally known Chicana/Mexican American feminist lesbian writer\, poet\, essayist\, playwright\, and cultural activist. She broke onto the national writing scene in 1981 with the landmark text\, This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color\, co-edited with another famed Chicana writer\, Gloria Anzaldúa. The text was adopted quickly onto reading lists of Ethnic and Gender Studies programs at universities and colleges across the country and has entered the canon. Her work is also widely used in English\, Writing\, Theater\, and Humanities programs. She has published numerous books and collections\, for which she has won many prestigious awards (please see bios\, below)\, all of which makes her one of the most influential Chicana thinkers and cultural workers today. Throughout her work\, Cherríe Moraga thinks critically about how race/ethnicity\, class\, gender\, and sexuality intersect and interact with each other to critique systems of oppression and to advocate for social justice\, el mero mole of the EGTSS Department and our courses.  By accepting our invitation\, we are deeply honored by her solidarity toward our students\, our community\, and Dolores Huerta. We look forward to collectively welcoming Cherríe to our College and our city. \nBios \nhttps://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/cherrie-moraga \nhttps://www.english.ucsb.edu/people/faculty/moraga-cherrie/ \nRegistration is required to attend.
