Hispanic Leadership Forum
Dr.
Velasco-Muñoz is a native of Bolivia where she was exposed to the Quechua and
Aymara indigenous communities, and where she first developed an understanding
and the desire to fight for human rights. Mavel maintains strong ties with her
native country. She is a member of Los Libros del Sol
an organization that aims to provide better educational opportunities to the
indigenous communities of the Isla del Sol, Bolivia. Mavel
was brought up in a multi-cultural, multi-lingual family and has raised two
bilingual, bicultural sons. Mavel has traveled extensively around the world
and has lived in Saudi Arabia, Spain, and Japan. She moved to the United
States during her teen years and currently holds a Ph.D. in Latin American
Literature from Rutgers University in New Jersey. Her doctoral dissertation
dealt with feminine archetypes in the literary works of Uruguayan writer
Cristina Peri Rosi. As a nationally and internationally known lecturer and
writer she has given numerous lectures on Spanish
Literature and Culture and Civilization of South America and has published
several articles on Contemporary Latin American Literature journals. She is
presently a professor of Spanish at Virginia Wesleyan College where she
teaches Spanish language courses and Latin American Literature, Civilization,
and Latin American Music and Dance courses.
Please join us as we welcome and hear
