At the intersections of Communities, diaspora and canadian Settler-Colonialism, my dissertation, “Una milpa de Storywork, Memoria Histórica y Testimonios cultivada por salvadoreños en “vancouver,” explores how First-generation Salvadorian Refugees, Asylum Seekers and Exiles cultivated land and place-based relationships on vancouver, british columbia, canadá (OISE, University of Toronto, 2024). Conceptualized as a Tecomate filled with Storywork (Archibald, 2008) seeds, Memoria Histórica (Astvaldsson, 2011) seeds and Testimonio (Reyes & Curry Rodríguez, 2012) seeds— framed as ayote, maíz y frijol respectively— cultivated by First-generation Salvadorian Refugees, Asylum Seekers and Exiles arriving on vancouver during the 1979 – 1992 period, as a methodological approach, Una milpa de Storywork, Memoria Histórica y Testimonios cultivada por salvadoreños en “vancouver” is written in a spanglish caló that centres the ceremony of holding a pan con café and the tradition of pláticas (Fierros & Delgado Bernal, 2016) therein.
