Tiffany Ana López is an American academic and administrator, currently serving as the dean of the Claire Trevor School of the Arts at the University of California, Irvine. Her work focuses on storytelling in relation to trauma, violence, and creativity's role in fostering personal transformation and social change.[1][2]
Early life
In her early life, López faced challenges that later influenced her career path. At 15, she started work in a fast-food restaurant. Her engagement with the arts during this time was pivotal. She was inspired by experiences such as attending a classical music concert and participating in public arts programs. These activities provided her with a broader perspective on life and storytelling, shaping her future pursuits in academia and arts administration.[3]
Education
López is a first-generation college student. She earned her B.A. from California State University, Sacramento, after transferring from the California community college. She then obtained her M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of California, Santa Barbara.[4]
Career
López began her career in the California Community College system and later pursued a master's and PhD in English as a Fulbright scholar. She went to Dartmouth while completing her dissertation. López spent 21 years teaching at the University of California, Riverside, where she led Latinx initiatives, programming, and community engagement as the Tomás Rivera Endowed Chair in the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences. She also collaborated on a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) grant on medical narratives and graphic medicine.[5]
Prior to her role at UCI, López served as the Vice Provost for Inclusive Excellence and the Director of the School of Film, Dance and Theater at the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts (HIDA) at Arizona State University (ASU). During her tenure, the film program saw expansion and diversification in its curriculum, faculty, and student body, and underwent preparations for its rebranding as the Sidney Poitier New American Film School.[6]
Work
López's research and professional work focus on the intersections of theater, trauma, and violence. She has worked with numerous regional theaters, including Center Theatre Group and Oregon Shakespeare Festival. She has also been published in several books and journals, including "Encuentro – Latinx Performance for the New American Theater" (2019), "The Cambridge Guide to U.S. Latina/o Literature" (2016), "Performing the U.S. Latina and Latino Borderlands" (2011), and "Growing up Chicana/o" (1993).[7][8]
As a literary and production dramaturge, she has collaborated with various companies and theaters, such as the Southwest Shakespeare Company, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and Artists Repertory Theatre. Her recent production dramaturgy includes "La Ruta" by Isaac Gomez and "Mother Road" by Octavio Solis. López is also the founding director of the Latina/o Play Project and a founding member of several theater organizations.[9]
One of her notable contributions to academic discourse is an essay titled "Struggles of Chicanas/Latinas in Academia."[10] Her essay delves into the challenges faced by Chicanas/Latinas in academic settings, highlighting systemic issues such as institutionalized sexism, homophobia, and racism. By documenting these challenges, López provides a foundational text for scholars and educators aiming to understand and combat barriers that slow the progress of Chicanas/Latinas in academia.
