Read my “Queer Lessons on Latinx Methods,” part of ReVista: Harvard Review of Latin America‘s special issue “Queer in Latin America: LGBTQ+ Perspectives. The issue also includes student projects that draw inspiration from the works of Alán Peláez López, Iván Monalisa Ojeda, and Piri Thomas to advance new analytical methods like transing as method, double-life as method, and monstrosity as method.

Latinx Studies Association 2024 CFP: Latinx Methods
This roundtable(s) explores the methods of Latinx cultural and literary studies. How are the central concepts of our field sustained by what we do with them, what we do to them, even as those actions are thought to be responsive to (instead constitutive of) both latinidad and literature? Following the work of Ramírez and Rios (2022) within Latinx Studies, as well as Love (2021), Ghaziani and Brim (2019) in Queer Studies, we welcome innovative approaches that seek to define, expand, or unsettle Latinx methods. Themes might include (and in light of the conference’s emphasis on “Placing Justice and Joy”): placing as method, cancellation as method, lingering as method, brown as method, and much more.
