Published by Alicia Gaspar de Alba

I'm a Chicana lesbian feminist queer writer and professor from la frontera between El Paso, Texas and Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua. I've been living in L.A. since 1992, and am a founding faculty member of the Cesar Chavez Department of Chicana/o and Central American Studies at UCLA, which I chaired from 2007-2010. I also have appointments in English and Gender Studies. From 2013-2019, I served as the Chair of the LGBTQ Studies Program. I've published 13 books, among them novels, short story and poetry collections, and academic texts. In 2026 I will be retiring from UCLA after 32 years of a career dedicated to teaching, research, and service. For more info on my work and publications, check out: www.aliciagaspardealba.net.
