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 served 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.
