Her dissertation, "Staging the Interstice," looks to contemporary trans- performance in Mexico City in the latter half of the 21st Century, analyzing the relationship between urban space and trans- embodiment through artistic production in interstitial locations – such as the subway, the prison, the cabaret and the rooftop – to offer alternative maps of the city. She writes across the fields of aesthetics and politics, feminist theory, queer and trans studies, latinx american studies and critical geographies. Her work has appeared, or is forthcoming, in the journals Trans Studies Quarterly, Women&Performance, and Gender, Place & Culture. She is also an artist and printmaker.
