Bio
Gabriella V. Sanchez is a tenth-generation Tejana, raised in Yanawana -- the occupied territory that is San Antonio, TX. In 2018 she received her Master’s Degree in Education from the Bicultural-Bilingual Studies program at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) and is now a Ph.D. Candidate in the Multicultural Women’s and Gender Studies program at Texas Woman’s University where her research utilizes intersectional feminist historical analysis and archival methods to document the work of Black and Chicana educator activist leaders in San Antonio, specifically how their experience within the intersections of race, class, ethnicity, and gender raised their consciousnesses to create alternative educational methods and practices necessary for individual and collective change. Gabriella is also a Women’s Gender and Sexuality Studies instructor at UTSA, Event Coordinator for the Democratizing Racial Justice Project at UTSA, serves as At-Large Representative for Mujeres Activas en Letras y Cambio Social (MALCS), and is the Co-Chair of the NACCS Chicana Caucus.
