ОБ ЭТОМ ЭПИЗОДЕ
La Profesora talks with newly-minted Dr. Roberto Orozco (felicidades on your dissertation defense!) about the connection between Jotería Studies and Chicana Feminism. Early Chicana Feminists crafted a theory that disrupted heteronormativity and uplifted race/ethnicity, gender, and sexuality, a foundational element that is not always addressed or honored when drawing from Chicana Feminism. Therefore, Jotería Studies and Chicana Feminism have been linked since the very beginning. Dr. Orozco shares insights on working alongside muxerista activists at UNLV and the Las Vegas area, and the importance of tracing the geneology of the theories we use.
Dr. David Martinez, a member of our Academic Hype Team, uplifts the efforts of Dra. Abigail Tarango.
