| Submission declined on 31 January 2024 by MicrobiologyMarcus (talk). This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format.

| Submission declined on 30 May 2023 by Jamiebuba (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. | |
Comment: meets notability (WP:NPROF) as a dean[2] but the article is not written in a neutral, non promotional tone. Stick to the facts and avoid puffery. microbiologyMarcus (petri dish·growths) 18:04, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Tiffany Ana López is an American academic and administrator, currently serving as the dean of the Claire Trevor School of the Arts at the University of California, Irvine. Her work focuses on storytelling in relation to trauma, violence, and creativity's role in fostering personal transformation and social change.[1][2]
Early life[edit]
In her early life, López faced challenges that later influenced her career path. At 15, she started her working life in a fast-food restaurant and was involved in the arts. Exposure to the arts, including attendance at classical music concerts and participation in public arts programs, played a role in shaping her perspective on life and storytelling. These experiences contributed to her subsequent career choices in academia and arts administration.[3]
Education[edit]
López is a first-generation college student. She earned her B.A. from California State University, Sacramento, after transferring from the California community college. She then obtained her M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of California, Santa Barbara.[4]
Career[edit]
López began her academic career in the California Community College system and later pursued a master's and PhD in English as a Fulbright scholar. She went to Dartmouth while completing her dissertation. López spent 21 years teaching at the University of California, Riverside. She led Latinx initiatives, programming, and community engagement as the Tomás Rivera Endowed Chair in the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences. She also collaborated on a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) grant on medical narratives and graphic medicine.[5]
Immediately prior to her role at UCI, López served as the Vice Provost for Inclusive Excellence and the Director of the School of Film, Dance and Theater at the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts (HIDA) at Arizona State University (ASU). During her tenure, the film program saw expansion and diversification in its curriculum, faculty, and student body, and underwent preparations for its rebranding as the Sidney Poitier New American Film School.[6]
Work[edit]
López's research and professional work focus on the intersections of theater, trauma, and violence. She has worked with regional theaters, including Center Theatre Group and Oregon Shakespeare Festival. She has also been published in several books and journals, including "Encuentro – Latinx Performance for the New American Theater" (2019), "The Cambridge Guide to U.S. Latina/o Literature" (2016), "Performing the U.S. Latina and Latino Borderlands" (2011), and "Growing up Chicana/o" (1993).[7][8]
She has collaborated with theater companies, regional theaters and festivals, such as the Southwest Shakespeare Company, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and Artists Repertory Theatre. Selected recent production dramaturgy includes "La Ruta" by Isaac Gomez and "Mother Road" by Octavio Solis[9]. López is also the founding director of the Latina/o Play Project and a founding member of several theater organizations.[10]
She wrote an essay titled "Struggles of Chicanas/Latinas in Academia",[11] which discusses the difficulties Chicanas/Latinas encounter in academic environments, focusing on issues like sexism, homophobia, and racism. Her essay delves into the challenges faced by Chicanas/Latinas in academic settings, highlighting systemic issues such as institutionalized sexism, homophobia, and racism. This work serves as a resource for those looking to address the slow the progress of Chicanas/Latinas in academia.
