This is the blog for the Digital Life Stories: Chicana/Latina Testimonio course. This course explores the Latina feminist tradition of testimonios, autobiographical narratives, short-stories, poems, and oral histories to reveal the complexity of Chicana/Latina identity. Through examining these stories students make connections between life experience and new knowledge creation or “theorizing from the flesh” as Cherríe Moraga describes it. We explore the deep intersections of racism, sexism and heterosexism. We read and analyze testimonios by Latina writers the first half of the semester. As a final project, students create their own digital life stories. This blog is an archive of their projects. You do not need to be Latina to take this course or participate in discussions on this blog. All are welcome.
