“Dolorous Gender” presented by Francisco Galarte

American Studies | Center for Literary and Comparative Studies | College of Arts and Humanities | English | The Harriet Tubman Department of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Wednesday, February 26, 2025 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm Tawes Hall, 0134

Professor Francisco Galarte (University of New Mexico) will be building upon work from his first book: "Brown Transfiguration: Rethinking Race, Sex, Gender and Sexuality in Chicanx/Latinx Studies."

He will demonstrate the connections between trans studies and Chicanx/Latinx studies and focus on the lives of trans feminine sex workers on the Juárez/El Paso Border before NAFTA and the dolorous imprints these women have left upon how we understand the region’s response to the HIV/AIDS crisis of the 1990s, via border policing, feminicide, and urban renewal.
