About me
Elena Foulis is an Assistant Professor at Texas A&M-San Antonio and Director of the Spanish Language Studies Program. She has directed the oral history project Oral Narratives of Latin@s in Ohio (ONLO) since 2014. Her research explores Latina/o/e voices through oral history and performance, identity and place, and linguistic practices. She is also host and producer for the Latin@ Stories podcast, an extension of her oral history project. This podcast invites audiences to connect and learn more about the Latina/o/x experiences locally, while amplifying voices of these communities everywhere. Foulis is author and co-editor of the book, Working en comunidad: Service-Learning and Community Engagement with U.S. Latinas/os/es with the University of Arizona Press (2024), and is working on her monograph, Embodied Encuentros: Bilingual Oral History Archives of Latinas/os/es Experiences, with Ohio State University Press. Foulis is an engaged scholar committed to reaching non academic and academic audiences through her writing, presentations, and public humanities projects.
