Biography
Dr. Jorge Mariscal (b. circa 1948) is an Emeriti Professor of Spanish and Chicano/a Literature at UC San Diego. Mariscal is
the grandson of Mexican immigrants, and his father was a World War II veteran. In 1966 he graduated from Millikan High School
in Long Beach, California. In 1968, at the age of nineteen, he was drafted in the U.S. Army to fight the war in Vietnam.
Mariscal later received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Irvine. Since the 1980s, he has served as an advocate
for cultural diversity and Chicano/a voices and students on UC San Diego's campus, in addition to his teaching and administrative
roles. Mariscal was a founder and director of the Chicano/a and Latino/a Arts and Humanities Program (CLAH) (now Chicanx and
Latinx Studies at the Institute of Arts and Humanities), and former co-Director of the Dimensions of Culture Program at Thurgood
Marshall College. His research interests include the Chicano Movement, cultural studies, and Latinos in the U.S. military,
and he is active in Project YANO, a counter-recruitment organization of military veterans and activists who speak to young
people about the realities of military service.
