Theater Arts Center

I'm an anthropologist specialized in the ethnography of media. My first book is on the accomplishment of femininity among beauty pageant contestants (misses) and transgender women (transformistas) in Venezuela.

My work focuses on the role of the imaginary in the survival of queer and transgender people in Latin America, and the place of these subjects in the nation.

I am co-founder of El/La Para TransLatinas in the Mission District of San Francisco, CA, a social justice organization that promotes transgender Latina participation and reflects the style and grace of translatina survival.

I am co-editor ex-oficio of GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies
