In this webinar, Isabella ‘Amne Gomez and Amy J. Lueck will showcase their own collaborative process and relationship as a model for considering what feminist approaches to community-engaged research might look like. They share about the successes and challenges they have encountered and pull out themes and insights that have emerged in order to illuminate pathways for other scholars and organizations interested in initiating community-engaged projects on their campuses and in their communities.

Presenter Biographies

Amy Lueck is Associate Professor of Rhetoric and Composition and Associate Provost for Faculty Development at Santa Clara University, where her research and teaching focus on histories of rhetorical instruction and practice, feminist historiography, cultural rhetorics, and rhetorical memory studies. Her book, A Shared History: Writing in the High School, College, and University, 1856-1886 (SIU Press 2020), brings together several of these research threads, interrogating the ostensible high school-college divide and the role it has played in shaping writing instruction in the U.S. Her recent research builds on this work by attending to the cultural rhetorics shaping history and remembrance at various sites, from universities and the tribal homelands on which they are built to historic attractions like the Winchester Mystery House, examining the boundaries and rhetorics of containment that serve to isolate communities and their histories. Since 2018 she has been collaborating with Muwekma Ohlone and Ohlone tribal members on public-facing projects that contest such boundaries, using digital media and deep relationality to unsettle the patterns of Indigenous erasure that her research documents.

Isabella ‘Amne Gomez is a member and youth ambassador of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe of the San Francisco Bay Area. Since childhood, she has represented her Tribal Nation in numerous ways: by teaching cultural projects, volunteering at information and cultural exhibit booths, reading land acknowledgements, and dancing at cultural events and powwows. She was recently selected to be in the first cohort of the Webb Scholars Program and is a graduate of the Green Foothills Leadership Program. She currently attends and interns at Santa Clara University, majoring in philosophy.
