Saldaña is a qualitative research methodologist with a theatre and performance background. He integrates ethnographic research data with theatrical production devices to stage stories of self and others. For this event, Saldaña will present a one-man autoethnodrama — a compound word of autobiography, ethnography and drama — which draws from multicultural educator Lee Anne Bell's genres of counter-narratives, including concealed stories — historic tales from the margins and marginalized; resistance stories — tales of oppression, struggle and triumph; and emerging/transforming stories — epiphany narratives of personal change. The focus of his personal/cultural narrative addresses age and ageism — phenomena prominent in the presenter's mid-60s life course. The presentation is prefaced and concluded with reflective participation by the audience on childhood and adulthood passages of transformation — key stages of human development across the lifespan.
