This fifth-column traitor is not only a purveyor of communist-anti-”gringo” “Greater Mexico” (Aztlan) “Latina/o Studies”, but also a feminazi and a purveyor of “queer theory”.

She’s not a real professor—she’s a COMMUNITY ORGANIZER!!!!

Stand with Arizona! Kosovo is Serbia—Arizona is America!!!!

Was this before or after diplomas were handed out?

If I were a parent in that audience- I would have stood up & called for my kid to come with me & I would have LEFT THE AREA.

Go to MEXICO & study CHICANO studies, maam. Get the F&&& out of the USA.

The is another reason why this country is losing it’s own identity.

We won’t miss you.

Maybe you can get SOME education into the heads of the illegal intruders & get them to stay in their own country & clean it up there.

One of the kids got a Doctorate there about six years back. The day was filled with similar leftist propoganda which wasn’t booed.

I think the issue is if the Graduates feel that a speaker is hijacking their ceremony they will get testy. If a professor or departmetn head is just reciting the standard line they will let them get away with it. In other words, these same students wouldn’t have let a speaker make a conservative diatribe about the new law either.

Like all young people, they are self-involved.

Sandra K. Soto is Director of Graduate Studies, Co-coordinator of the Chicana/Latina Studies Concentration, and affiliate faculty of English, Mexican American Studies, and Latin American Studies.

She holds a PhD in English from the University of Texas at Austin (with a focus in Ethnic and Third World Literature). Her interdisciplinary research agenda draws on Chicana/o and Latina/o literary and cultural studies, queer theory, and gender studies to offer innovative approaches to the overdetermined terrain of social relations, cultural representation, and knowledge production.

Her book Reading Chican@ Like a Queer: The De-Mastery of Desire (University of Texas Press, 2010), replaces the race-based oppositional paradigm of Chicano literary studies with a less didactic, more flexible, framework geared for a queer analysis of the discursive relationship between racialization and sexuality.

She is currently working on her second book tentatively titled Feeling Greater Mexico, which pursues unlikely connections between critical transnational studies and U.S. ethnic studies and focuses on the Mexican photographer Graciela Iturbide.

Her teaching interests include Chicana/o and Latina/o literary and cultural studies, feminist theories, transnational feminisms, critical race studies, US Third World Feminism, and queer theory.

That’s a professor? She’s a terrible public speaker, obviously just reciting a written piece verbatim. A decent speaker at least attempts to engage the audience.

How is this woman not in Obama’s cabinet?

When she’s not teaching, she’s probably helping illegals across the border.

The fact that the U of A had her speak, speaks volumes of their leftist leanings.
