Join RITM on Tuesday November 29, 2022 at 4:30pm-6:00pm in WLH 309 (100 Wall Street) for a lecture from Christina León, Assistant Professor in the Department of English at Princeton University.
Christina León specializes in hemispheric American literature with a focus on Latinx and Caribbean literatures, in addition to feminist
theory, queer theory, performance studies, and environmental humanities. Her research and teaching center literary and critical theory in concert with anti-colonial, critical ethnic, and critical race theory. She is completing her first monograph, currently titled Opaque Entanglements: The Matter of Reading Caribbean Latinidad, which traces entanglements of matter and metaphor in the work of feminist and queer writers and artists from Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Latinx New York. She is also co-editor of a special issue of Women and Performance entitled "Lingering in Latinidad: Theory, Aesthetics, and Performance in Latina/o Studies".
