Upcoming events
A Story of Stories: Reading and RemembRANCE
Join Cristina D. Ramírez, Department head of English at the University of Arizona and Willa Cather Literary Award-winning author of A Story of Stories: The Texas Border Barrio Life and Writings of Doña Ramona Gonzalez, for an evening of storytelling and remembrance.
In this intimate reading, Ramírez will honor ancestral voices and speak about the enduring power of memory. Through the life and writings of Doña Ramona, the author's grandmother, we'll explore how stories rooted in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands preserve cultural identity, familial legacy, and spiritual connection.
The event is free and open to the public and will be followed by a book signing.
