My current book project draws from oral histories of queer and trans Latine migrants, ethnography, and content analysis that I conducted in Mexico City and Los Angeles, California. The book interrogates the colonial logics of the U.S. immigration system and migration processes generally in the Americas. It further studies the ways in which Latine queer, trans, and gender nonbinary migrants resist and refuse such logics.

My work has appeared in the journals Diálogo, Women’s Studies Quarterly, the Journal of Lesbian Studies, Chicana/Latina Studies: The Journal of Mujeres Activas en Letras y Cambio Social, and Feminist Formations as well as in the anthology Displacement, Belonging, and Migrant Agency in the Face of Power.
