Why the success of Latino faculty and students is critical
An interesting article written by Anne-Marie Nuñez and Elizabeth Murakami-Ramalho on improving educational standards of Latino students, encouraging students, and empowering them to become successful in their professions. Article heavily focuses on faculty involvement. Here's an excerpt:
While concerns about Latino educational access may not be of interest to everyone in this anti-immigrant climate, the positive economic…

Wait, you saw THAT?
I did not expect for Librotraficante to see my "dismay" post about the lack of events in El Paso, but they did .... and they shared it on Facebook. The post was made on a whim! I was curious why the "dismay" post was receiving so much traffic, checked on Facebook, and found my answer. Apparently if you Google "Librotraficante El Paso" my two blogs are ranked in the top ten hits -- at least this was the case on Sunday. Ladies, I'm not tooting my own horn, but it is a reminder of how you…

This Means War
Tom Hardy, Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine, and Chelsea Handler, how could I resist watching this? The previews ensnared me, despite my dislike to most romantic comedies. Okay, I will admit that having these stunning and crazy talented actors made me want to see it more -- if their roles were played by other people, I probably wouldn't have seen it in theaters. The film was funnier than I expected and my favorite…

Poetry and Chicana Feminism
I was cleaning my bookshelf this morning -- by cleaning I really mean moving the books around to make it look "less" cluttered. I know, I know, I am terrible, but over the years I have accumulated too many books to the point where I have forbidden myself from purchasing any unless I absolutely need them, or if they're available for the Kindle or Nook -- yes, I have both .... but I like the Kindle better.
While I was "cleaning" I stumbled across a forgotten copy of Lorna Dee…

Sibling Rivalry
I grew a little nostalgic after seeing that picture. I find it amusing/funny, mostly because it reminds me of the terrible moments my siblings and I have bickered over the years. I love them to death, but there have been a couple times when things were not as peachy as my mom would've liked. We have matured and no longer bicker,…

Pet Peeve, a personal rant towards careless walkers.
One of my major pet peeves is seeing someone, or a group of people, text while they're crossing the street. One, it makes the person look extremely idiotic for NOT paying attention to the surroundings, careless drivers, or potential hazards. Two, is it really that important to text, tweet, or update your Facebook status while you're crossing the street? It also bugs me when…
