Jorge Sánchez Cruz received his Ph.D. from the Department of Hispanic Studies at the University of California, Riverside in June 2018. His research includes the relationship between aesthetics and politics; feminist and queer theories; indigenous studies; performance studies; and critical theory. His current project, Subcultural Politics: Sexual Dissidence, Sickness and Subversion in Chile and Mexico, 1986-2013, explores the intersection of sexual politics and socio-cultural transitions. Engaging with visual culture, literary production, and continental philosophy, Subcultural Politics examines the presence of minoritarian subjectivities under neoliberal state reforms, the dissemination of HIV/AIDS, and heteronormative assemblages.
