The Leal-Anzaldúa Diversity Fireside Chat is an opportunity to showcase the diversity of scholarship of USD faculty and increase our collective appreciation for inclusive excellence. The Leal-Anzaldúa Diversity Fireside Chat is a lecture series that features the research/scholarship of USD faculty that centers around issues of diversity, equity, inclusion and social justice. The goal of the Leal-Anzaldúa Diversity Fireside Chat is to bring together members of our University community to engage in campus-wide conversations, elicit feedback on new and emerging scholarship, and increase our collective learning about diverse topics. Faculty from all disciplines are encouraged to present their work during the Leal-Anzaldúa Diversity Fireside Chat. The presented works could be in the form of a book talk, discussion of published work, review of preliminary findings, an art exhibit or other form of works in progress. The Leal-Anzaldúa Diversity Fireside Chat is named for scholar-activists Luis Leal and Gloria Anzaldúa. Luis Leal was a scholar of Mexican, Chicano and Latin American Literature and the Chicano experience in the United States. Gloria Anzaldúa was a scholar of Chicano Cultural Theory, Feminist Theory and Queer Theory.
