Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Jeanine Valadez (BS Electrical Engineering, 1981) shares memories of her upbringing and Stanford undergraduate years, describing how athletics, including her participation on the Stanford field hockey team, affected many aspects of her life. She also speaks about various aspects of her identity: her experience of being a first-generation, low-income student at Stanford; her Mexican heritage but “white” upbringing; and the “quiet exclusion” she faced as a lesbian on campus. Valadez also speaks about the queer community at Stanford, lesbian bars in the area, her career as a woman in tech and engineering, and becoming an activist later in life.
