I encourage all to listen to this video on Vimeo of the late Dr. Laura Padilla presented by Latina voices.

Her dissertation, titled, “Land of Enchantment, Land of Mi Chante: Four Arguments in New Mexican Literature,” is here at the UT Library for those of you that have access.

Her presentation is so incredibly moving and courageous. I remember her so well. Even as she continues to have so much to give, she nevertheless left this world much too soon.
