[Image]Hello colleagues!
I am sending this message on behalf of Dr. Kalinec-Craig, who is on development leave this
semester. We have an exciting opportunity this semester for you and your students. We are
thrilled to virtually host Olga Torres, a retired elementary bilingual education teacher
from Tucson, Arizona, who theorized the Rights of the Learner (e.g., the right to be
confused; to make a mistake; to speak, listen, and be heard; to write, do, and represent
what makes sense to you) and has inspired us at UTSA to incorporate this into our program
and curriculum. Señora Torres will share pivotal experiences as a bilingual educator and
how we can reimagine classrooms as humanizing and democratic spaces where all children
have the right to thrive.
Details and a flyer are included below, please sign up if you are interested and please
encourage your students to join us by signing up also. The Zoom link for the seminar will
be emailed to registrants prior to the event.

“Tell them about how you’re never really a whole person if you remain silent, because
there’s always that one little piece inside you that wants to be spoken out, and if you
keep ignoring it, it gets madder and madder and hotter and hotter, and if you don’t speak
it out one day it will just up and punch you in the mouth from inside.” –Audre Lorde,
recalling her daughter’s words of advice.
