Patricia Zavella: Exceptional Teacher, First-Rate Scholar, Committed Activist <b> Clay Latimer </b>

As chair of Latin American and Latino studies, Professor Patricia Zavella is charged with making things run smoothly in her department at the University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC). But her job doesn’t end on the picturesque campus, nestled in the redwood forests and meadows overlooking Monterey Bay. Zavella spends much of her time in another part of the county – another world, really – the migrant labor neighborhoods in nearby Watsonville. For a decade, the acclaimed cultural anthropologist interviewed and observed migrant people for her forthcoming book, I’m Neither Here Nor There: Mexicans’ Quotidian Struggles with Migration and Poverty.
