The Claremont Courier and KQED both profiled Martha Gonzalez, associate professor of Chicanx/Latinx Studies at Scripps College and lead singer, songwriter, and percussionist of the Grammy Award-winning band Quetzal, who recently received a 2022 MacArthur Fellowship. “We’ve been around for a long time,” Gonzalez told the Courier. “We’re very rooted to social justice movements in our communities and trans-nationally. I’ve been utilizing music to engage in different contexts, from grassroots organizing to a musician on the stage, a musician in the community, a musician in the classroom, and a musician writing about music and social justice. In all of these ways, I guess, and the ways in which I talk about it and the community work that I’ve been a part of, caught their attention. And here we are.”
