Dr. Gloria Caballero-Roca has been an academic, educator, researcher, and activist for more than two decades. Cuban-born, raised, and educated in Havana, her global experience throughout her career took her to explore topics on translation, Latin American, Latinx, and Caribbean Studies, Women’s and Gender, and Gender and Diversity studies. With two Ph.D.’s, and two MA degrees, her mission in education has been to form sophisticated critical thinkers who can recognize our interdependency and connectedness among ourselves and with Mother Earth. Her publications and international talks focus on the intersectionality of diaspora, anti-imperialism, social justice, and transnational experience.
Dr. Caballero Roca was a 2021 Mayoral Candidate for the City of Holyoke and in 2022 she ran for Auditor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
