Research Interests:
Currently, I am interested in twentieth-century
Chicana/o intellectual and cultural history. My
research traces the notion of belonging in
U.S.-Mexican thought from the Mexican Revolution
until the Chicana/o Movement. It remaps the liminal
spaces in which U.S.-Mexicans forged their
alternative identities, creating from two worlds an
imagined homeland.
Central
to my exploration of Chicana/o intellectual history are
the changes in ethnic Mexican cultural nationalism
throughout the twentieth century. I have presented a
paper on this topic at the Recovering the Hispanic
Literary Heritage project’s conference in October of
2008; it was called “Pocholandia: Creating Space,
Identity, and Belonging between México de Afuera and
Greater Mexico, 1910-1940.”
