Bio

Dr. Gloria Vasquez Gonzales is from Temple, Texas. She earned her PhD in Culture, Literacy, and Language from the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). Her research, “Las invisibles: Women of the Tejano Music Industry,” draws from Chicana feminist methodologies to center the voices of Mexican American women in the Tejano music industry, highlighting their invisible work. Her research was grounded by her 18+ years in the Tejano music industry. She is a co-investigator of “The West Side Sound Oral History Project,” a cultural preservation project that aims to document and display the community history involved in the creation of this music genre. She is an Assistant Professor of Practice, teaching courses in the Mexican American Studies Program.
