working on intro to #latinxstudies spring syllabus and would like to add more public writing about HOME. any exceptional pieces from the past year? to give you a sense, last year we read
“Abstract Barrios” by Johana Londoño, watched Bad Bunny, engaged Amalia Mesa Bains, plus mucho más.

Excited to be joining #TheUniversityOfManchester as a #MarieCurie Postdoctoral Fellow - these last few days were a nice start!

My project examines the #anticolonial and #queerfeminist potential of #LatinAmerican and #Latinx #comics.

Equally happy to continue working with my #EXC colleagues at #FreieUniversitätBerlin as an associated member!

#Introduction Hi everyone! My name is Ayendy (he/him/his). I write and teach about #AmericanLiterature and culture, #Latinxstudies, and #printculture from the #nineteenthcentury to the present. I’m also poet and memoirist with aspirations of novel writing. I hope that this space can help us sustain and expand our networks and friendships. #LitStudies

#C19, #LatinxStudies, #LatinxLit, #PrintCulture folk, where you at? Please raise your hands so that we can link up here. I miss ya! :)

Inspired by the sense of possibility & community here & also bc I’m feeling some Pennsylvania pride today, I’ll share a more personal form of #introduction. This is my great grandfather, Martin, born in 1900. He spent his entire career running a linotype for the local newspaper, The Morning Call, in Allentown, PA. This photo is from his retirement in 1977, the year I was born. As a child I never once asked him about linotype machines, but he was playful & funny & kind & I like to think he’s one source of my love of bringing #mediahistory together with #C19Lit #LatinxStudies #litstudies #dh #USLDH

I just moved from mastodon.cloud to hcommons.social, so I’ll try another #introduction. I am an Assoc. Prof. of English/Latinx Studies @ Pace U in NYC. I write and teach about #LatinxStudies #litstudies #mediastudies #C19Lit #journalismhistory #Periodicals #dh #USLDH. My research centers on #c19 U.S-based Spanish-language print culture and the convergence of #lit and #MediaChange. My projects include the #digitalmapping site C19LatinoNYC.org and a book in progress called Electrifying News: A Hemispheric History of the Present in 19th-Century Print Culture.

#Introduction. I’m a professor @ the intersections of #EthnicStudies, #LatinxStudies, & social sciences (especially @sociology). I spend a lot of time thinking about #racial measurement, #Latinx classification, #racialstratification & #colorism; ideas recently banned in red states. Also a #criticalresearcher & advocate for #HSIs. Hobby-wise, I’m collecting #vintage baseball cards, especially of #Latino and #Black players. So, if your grandparents gave you a box of old cards, hit me up :).

I look forward to seeing #LatinxStudies and @sociology presence grow.

Lorgia García Peña (@lorgia_pena)'s new book "Translating Blackness" charts colonialism as an ongoing sociopolitical force by considering Black Latinidad in a global perspective. Check out the intro on our website! #LatinxStudies #AfricanAmericanStudies http://ow.ly/75AU50JLwKZ
