Assistant Professor
Department of Philosophy
My research interests include social epistemology, critical philosophy of race, feminist philosophy, Latin American and U.S. Latinx philosophy, and critical prison studies.[read more=’Read more’ less=’Read less’] My research focuses on three distinct, but interrelated areas: 1) how speech and linguistic forms of communication impact processes of racialization and structural racism; 2) the political and ethical intersections of criminalization, health, and race; and 3) post-revolutionary Mexican existentialism, feminism, and philosophy of culture. Some of my recent articles can be found in IJFAB: International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics, Hypatia: A Journal of Feminist Philosophy, Radical Philosophy Review, and Inter-American Journal of Philosophy. At UNC Charlotte, I have taught courses (graduate and undergraduate) on feminist theory, prison abolitionism, decolonial theory, and social epistemology.
