Abstract | Maria Salgado is a retired professor emeritus of Latin American literature. She retired in 2006, after teaching at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for almost 40 years. Salgado was born in the Canary Islands of Spain and moved to the United States when she was in high school. In this interview, Salgado says that she identifies as Spanish and that this has not led to any discrimination in her profession. She shares that her love of teaching led to her becoming a professor, and that teaching remained her favorite role at the university through her many years at UNC. Salgado shares the surprise she encountered her first day teaching at UNC, as well as stories of students that have stood out in her memory over the years. Salgado says that her role model in the profession was her only female professor at the University of Maryland, where she earned her doctorate. Finally, Salgado talks about how the university and the university-level teaching profession has changed over her career. She highlights changes in the campus’ landscape, new technology, and the fact that the Spanish language is allowed in the classroom today as the biggest changes she saw during her career. |
