My research engages the intersections of Latina/o and Latin American literary and cultural studies, border studies, political theory, Marxism, psychoanalysis, and philosophy. The work I do is theoretically driven and seeks to critically engage with the conceptual bases that underpin scholarship in the fields in which I work.
Additionally, I have written articles investigating the relationship between political economy and cultural production; the capitalist production of space and place; drug violence; labor organizing; immigration and border enforcement; and the politics of sanctuary.
