Quintana, Alvina E., 1947-....
Variant namesBiographical notes:
In the Spring Semester of 2009, Alvina Quintana, Associate Professor of Women's Studies at the University of Delaware, taught the course WOMS 410: The Study of Women's Studies: Pedagogy, Activism, and Material Culture. The course was a capstone course for Women's Studies majors who are about to graduate and explored the links between research and feminist activism, utilizing video production and the program Second Life. This course involved videotaping interviews of ten Afro-Latinas in the Greater Newark (Delaware) area. Twenty students in groups of two produced three-minute video documentaries drawn from their 60-90 minute interviews. A temporary exhibit on the project was hosted by the Center for Material Culture and in Second Life. Six documentaries were featured in an online exhibition, hosted in Second Life, and the exhibition was presented to the public on May 28, 2009, in a program at the Delaware Art Museum in Wilmington.
