- Welcome to my home in cyberspace. I am a sociologist and
I am presently the chair of the Department of Chicano and Latino
Studies at California State University, Long Beach.
I do consulting, training, speaking engagements on
Cultural diversity and Anti-Racism around the nation. CrossCultural Dialogue
is my diversity consulting firm. My professional
interests are in the field of racial and ethnic relations, especially
as it relates to Latinos and Latino politics in the U.S.
I was born and raised in Puerto Rico. Since 1977, I became
involved in Racial Justice issues as a student in Louisiana State
University, Baton Rouge. I served as Assoc. Director for Racial Justice
for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's national office in
Chicago. I was a member and chair of the Board of Directors of
Crossroads, a
Racial Justice Ministry in Chicago.
