(May 28, 2018) Presenting at International Conference on Chicano Literature and Latino Studies

At the 11th International Conference on Chicano Literature and Latino Studies, which was held in Salamanca, Spain, I presented on a panel organized by Ylce Irizarry entitled, “Against the Grain: Producing Alternative Archives of Latinidad,” which was chaired by Amanda Gerke from the Universidad de Salamanca. I presented a comparative analysis of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s use of Twitter, distinguishing his rhetoric of affiliation from that of other Latinx writers. Ylce Irizarry from the University of South Florida spoke about “Latina/o Literature after 1992: Alternative Archives of Latinidad“ and Marion Rohrleitner from University of Texas at El Paso discussed “Afro-Dominicans Write Back: Deconstructing the Canonical Latina/o Gaze.”
