Hey y'all... Look what I found! While perusing through the University of Arizona's 'iTunes U' collection (LINK), I stumbled across this video from late January featuring none other than Jamie Lee and Adela Licona giving a presentation called "Frames of Change: Focus on Blurred Boundaries." There is mention of the LGBT Oral History Project as well as Esmerelda del Desierto. Check it out!
WARNING: here be lots of heady intellectual language.

During my "Transition in the Borderlands" trip I stopped back in Tucson for a couple days on my way from San Diego to El Paso. On the day after Obama's inauguration, I went down to the federal building to check out a "first 100 days" rally that Border Action Network was putting on.
