Sandoval’s poetry places the professor in a number of contexts where she is vulnerable, and able to see her deficiencies while still hoping for better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShe begins with memories from her PhD program and in an American Sign Language class. She reflects on moments when she interacted with other professors, students, and colleagues, accepting her shortcomings and regrets. While left somewhat discouraged in some moments, it is her students and her hope for a better future for them that she leaves us with, understanding that she will always keep learning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"CLS Sandoval’s \u003cem\u003eThe Professor is Still Learning\u003c\/em\u003e digs into the chaos and toxicity of the academic world. This is a world I have been inside all my life, and her insights and descriptions go so far beyond the banality of most cliche ridden discussions of teaching and learning. This is full of the emotion and turmoil every professor has to face when they come face to face with the reality of ableism, racism, sexism and ambition. Her work is exceptional and complex. It is beautiful in the way it witnesses.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e—John Brantingham, Professor and author of \u003cem\u003eLife: Orange to Pear\u003c\/em\u003e and other works\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCLS Sandoval, PhD (she\/her) is a Pushcart nominated writer and communication professor with accolades in film, academia, and creative writing who speaks, signs, acts, publishes, sings, performs, writes, paints, teaches and rarely relaxes.
