Dr. Muñoz comes from a family of teachers, including her maternal great-grandmother who taught in the early 1900s in Texas public schools. She is the inspiration behind Dr. Munoz’s book, Desert Dreams: Mexican Arizona and the Politics of Educational Equality, a study of Arizona students and teachers in the territorial and early statehood days. Desert Dreams documents the unknown contributions of Mexican Americans in founding, shaping, and participating in Arizona education since 1871.
