Intersections: Critical Issues in Education

10/03/2022

I, on behalf of Intersections: Critical Issues in Education, cordially invite you to join our journal's editorial board.

"Intersections: Critical Issues in Education, sponsored by the University of New Mexico’s Department of Language, Literacy, and Sociocultural Studies, is an online, peer-reviewed, open-access academic journal. We seek to deepen understanding of how race, class, gender, sexuality, exceptionalities, power, well-being, and other subjectivities play out in educational settings as a means of advancing social justice for all people. Intersections serves as a forum for diverse voices and perspectives reflecting a variety of disciplines, focusing on work that interrogates, disrupts, and challenges oppression."

The aim of the ICIE journal is to highlight the critical issues that we know and experience in the field of education as teachers, students, peers, tutors, and researchers. Some of these issues include, but are not limited to, schooling and society, literacy and culture, curriculum and practice, language diversity, policy and reform, spirituality, health and well-being, subjectivities/identities, multimedia and digital technologies, globalization, critical literacy, race, health, gender, power, and (dis)ability studies.

ICIE accepts submissions of manuscripts in both the traditional and nontraditional format. We define traditional manuscripts as any kind of article, essay, interview, book review, and media review submission. Consequently, we consider submissions in video, audio, or creative writing format such as poetry, creative nonfiction, photovoice, short stories, and art as nontraditional submissions.

If you are interested in being a part of our ICIE family, you will have the option to decide the format of manuscripts that you would like to review. Your participation will ensure the quality of manuscripts that we publish in our journal.

To celebrate Ruth’s life, a memorial will be held on Sunday, November 10, 2019 from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Riverside Funeral Home (225 San Mateo NE). Ruth loved life and she enjoyed experiencing the world with all its color. Please come dressed to reflect that bright, vibrant personality and wear your favorite colorful outfits. A reception will follow at Travelstead Hall on the UNM campus. In lieu of flowers, a scholarship fund has been established by Chicana and Chicano Studies and the Southwest Hispanic Research Institute in her honor. Please send a check to Chicana and Chicano Studies, MSC02-1680, Sigma Chi Rd. NE, Albuquerque New Mexico, 87131. Please indicate it is for the Ruth Trinidad-Galván Social and Educational Justice Scholarship. Email Antoinette Rael for more information at [email protected].

Dr. Ruth Trinidad Galván was born on May 23, 1967 in El Paso, Texas to two immigrant parents, María del Socorro and Teodoro Trinidad. Early on, the family moved to Los Angeles, CA where Ruth was raised among four younger siblings, Esmeralda, Teodoro, Juan Carlos and Abraham. Ruth graduated from Lincoln High School and was awarded a scholarship to UCLA, graduating with a BA degree in Economics & Latin American Studies. Once she discovered a passion for education, Ruth worked as a classroom teacher for LA public schools teaching elementary school. While working as a bilingual teacher, she completed an MA degree in Educational Foundations and Bilingual/Bicultural Teaching with certifications from Cal State LA. Ruth flourished as a teacher and after several years her mentor and friend, Dr. Sofía Villenas, recruited her to a Ph.D. program at the University of Utah. Ruth earned her Ph.D. in Education, Culture and Society from the University of Utah where she was awarded the AERA/Spencer Fellowship for her dissertation research in rural Mexico. Throughout her academic journey, Ruth was a devoted mother, raising three daughters, Xiomara, Anayansi and Nemiliztli.

Ruth was a Professor in the Department of Language, Literacy and Sociocultural Studies at UNM. Among other major accomplishments and numerous publications, Ruth was twice awarded the prestigious Fulbright Scholar’s Grant, first in 2008 and then in 2015 for research and teaching in Ecuador and Mexico. Most recently, her research in Zacatecas, Mexico, focused on the increasing number of immigrants returning to their community of origin as a result of the lack of immigration reform and economic recession in the U.S. Her research foci included gendered transmigration, decolonial feminist epistemologies, and qualitative research.

In between the seriousness of her academic pursuits, Ruth found ways of exploring her love of travel, culture, and family in whatever way she could, whether by building new familial units where she went, or by keeping her daughters close and well-loved. Ruth shared her enthusiasm for adventure with her husband Brad Neu and they enjoyed many good times side by side and in the company of family. In all aspects of life, Ruth built close relationships that she cultivated for the duration of her life; from the mothers she befriended in La Palmilla, Mexico while writing her dissertation, to the landlady in the apartment she and her daughters lived in while in Quito, Ecuador, to rediscovering and reconnecting with her own maternal family in Zacatecas, Mexico. Through it all, she explored as widely and bravely as possible, always with at least three books in hand: one to give advice about whatever country she was in, one to keep her academic mind busy, and one journal, to memorialize her experiences.
