Gabriela Lila Salvidea
SLE Lecturer
BioGabriela Salvidea is a Lecturer for Structured Liberal Education. She earned a B.A. from Whitman College in 2010, majoring in philosophy and minoring in English. She earned her M.A. in English at Stanford University in 2016, and then her Ph.D., also from Stanford English, in 2023.
Gabriela’s research centers on postwar and contemporary American literatures, which she defines broadly to include certain texts written by academic humanists. She focuses on historicizing the politics of university culture—its research and its pedagogical practices—by studying texts which exist between the cultures of creative and scholarly writing, a kind of writing she treats as distinctive to the 20th and 21st centuries.
She has done editorial work for Bitch Magazine and, more recently, Commune Magazine and Endnotes Journal. She also, for a time, dabbled in news reporting. Before coming to Stanford, she was as a corps member in Teach for America, teaching for Green Dot Public Schools in Los Angeles. She then taught for the Oakland Unified School District and for the Friends School in Ramallah, Palestine. Before her work in public schools, she was a a social worker who managed a shelter for unhoused women in rural Washington. -
Alexa Samaniego
Ph.D. Student in Business Administration, admitted Autumn 2022
Grad OCT, Hume Center
Reader/Grader - Graduate, Martin, A.BioAlexa is a third-year PhD student in Organizational Behavior (Micro) at the Stanford Graduate School of Business.
Alexa's research is inspired by her background in theatre and the performing arts. She considers how speakers and audiences experience repeated performances (e.g., entrepreneurs giving the same pitch, or trainers giving the same seminar), and why certain speakers come across as more authentic than others. Her research informs the work she does as a presentation coach in the Stanford Oral Communication program and TEDxStanford.
Prior to beginning her PhD, Alexa worked as a research associate at Achievers Workforce Institute and Columbia Business School. She received her BS in Business Psychology from UC San Diego, and her MS in Applied Psychology from San Diego State University.
