Question #4 on the MAS
Texas Cultura Quiz:
Name 5 Tejan@ PhD’s
If you attended the 2015 NACCS Tejas Foco conference, you can name
over 5 Tejana PhD’s because you met them.
Among the 100's of authors, scholars, professors, writers,
activists, students, and community members who convened with us, at the 2015
NACCS Tejas Foco, chaired by Tony Diaz, El Librotraficante, Director of
Intercultural Initiatves at Lone Star College-North Harris, we are happy to
count the following PhD's (Our disculpas to the many more who we were
not able to include in this short post):
Dr. Norma A. Guzmán, PhD, Texas A&M University–Kingsville
Dr. Grisel Cano, Houston Community College
Dr. Adriana Tamez, Houston Community College Board of Trustees
Dr. Lydia French, Houston Community College
Dr. Melinda Mejia, Houston Community College
Bonus brilliance:
Some Tejano PhD’s:
Dr. Tatcho Mindiola, Center for Mexican American Studies,
University of Houston
Dr. Nicolás Kanellos, Arte Público Press
After you experience Mexican American Studies, you will know the difference between Chicana, Tejana, Tejano, Tejan@, Texican, Latin@ and/or Hispanic PhD's, if any.
