exhibit caseWhen a symposium in honor of Chicano Studies Emeritus Professor Dr. Luis Leal, took place in late October, an exhibit with information on the various genres of the Mexican short story was displayed in the Davidson Library. The event, VII Colloquium on Mexican Literature/XVI Encuentro de investigadores del Cuento Mexicano/Segundo Encuentro Binacional del Cuento Mexicano took place on campus as well as in Santa Barbara and brought together scholars with expertise in El Cuento Mexicano, the Mexican Short Story.

The library exhibit was created by Raquel Quiroz Gonzalez and was displayed through the end of the quarter in the Ethnic and Gender Studies Library.  It included  information on the various genres of the Mexican short story, and most of the  books on display were donated to Colección Tloque Nahuaque by Dr. Leal.  More photos.

Jane and Janet


It was a funny coincidence when Janet Martorana and Jane Faulkner noticed they were wearing the same outfits on the morning of December 10th.  When Eunice Schroeder walked in, people dressed in reds, blues, or other colors wondered if they had missed a special memo!
