Article Published in CENTRO

My very first peer-reviewed article was published in the Spring edition of CENTRO, the journal for the Center for Puerto Rican Studies.  The article represents the core of my dissertation work, and is titled “Negotiating el difícil: Uses of English text in a rural Puerto Rican community.”  -Cathy Mazak
