Dr. Cotera's first book, Native Speakers: Ella Deloria, Zora Neale Hurston, Jovita González, and the Poetics of Culture received the Gloria Anzaldúa book prize in 2009. She is also the co-author of Chicana Movidas: New Narratives of Feminism and Activism in the Movement Era and is currently the director of the Chicana por mi Raza digital memory project. Dr. Cotera will reflect on the relationship between history, memorialization, and memory keeping as a praxis of liberation, the archive as a site of encuentro, and how a critical engagement with the history and memory of Los Siete can reframe both the past and the future of social justice.
