Dr. Andrea Delgado

Assistant Professor

Biography: 
Andrea Delgado hails from South East Los Angeles and is an Assistant Professor of English at Cal Poly Humboldt, having received her Ph.D from the Department of Comparative Literature, Cinema and Media at the University of Washington, Seattle. Her work has been published in collections such as Transnational Spaces: Intersections of Cultures, Languages, and Peoples and Confronting Critical Equity and Inclusion Incidents on Campus: Lessons Learned and Emerging Practices. Her current project, An Explosion of Voices Unheard, tracks the narratives about the events following the acquittal of the LAPD officers who assaulted Rodney King, reading each community's perspective as a part of the larger whole of multiracial Los Angeles. Ever present in the memories of the city’s diverse communities, the events of 1992 provide opportunities to examine how personal narratives and public history are co-constructed, allowing us to connect this historical moment to other acts of state violence and subsequent protests.
