While these are important histories, they do not present a full picture of LGBTQ history. To include other communities, we asked the authors to look beyond the more well-known stories. Inclusion within each chapter, however, isn’t enough to describe the geographic, economic, legal, and other cultural factors that shaped these diverse histories. Therefore, we commissioned chapters providing broad historical contexts for two spirit, transgender, Latino/a, African American Pacific Islander, and bisexual communities. These chapters, read in concert with the chapter on intersectionality, serve as examples of rich, multi-faceted narrative within a fuller history of the United States. 12 LATINA/O GENDER

SPOKANE, Wash. — As Gonzaga University begins its 132nd academic year, President Thayne McCulloh, D.Phil., oversees a sea change in leadership as four new academic deans — three of whom are women — assume their roles led by incoming Provost and Senior Vice President Deena J. González, Ph.D.

Yolanda Gallardo Carter, Ph.D., becomes dean of the School of Education. Karlene Hoo, Ph.D., serves as dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science. Rosemarie Hunter, Ph.D., is the new dean of the School of Leadership Studies. Vincent Salyers, Ed.D., and registered nurse, becomes dean of the School of Nursing and Human Physiology. In addition, Matt Bahr, Ph.D., serves as interim dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.

The changes include a sophisticated switch — begun last year — to a new provost academic leadership structure.

The leadership changes result from a broad-based and intentional commitment of the entire University community to breathe new vibrancy and inclusiveness throughout the Jesuit, Catholic and humanistic institution. Extensive national searches were conducted for each position.

President McCulloh, who begins his 10th year as Gonzaga’s leader, says the leadership changes offer “a momentous opportunity” for Gonzaga to build upon its academic excellence and provide unlimited opportunities for students and the University.

“As a group, they reflect an extraordinary diversity of backgrounds, depth of scholarship and global perspective that will enrich the entire Gonzaga community,” President McCulloh noted. 

González, who started June 1, served as the associate provost for faculty affairs and as a professor and chair of the department of Chicana/o studies at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles.

Following an American Council on Education Fellowship (2010-11) she was appointed director of faculty development (2011-18),
