My research is centered on Chicanx/Latinx speculative fiction, in particular how Chicanx/Latinx writers are using science fiction and fantasy to explore migration. My study The Latinx Files: Race, Migration, and Space Aliens was released through Rutgers University Press in 2021. In this book I argue that the space alien is a Multitude, a vital Latinx figure preserving Latinx cultures by activating the myriad possible constructions of the space alien to represent race and migration. Thinking about the space alien as a Multitude inspires us to explore the way that space aliens can depict sympathetic yet powerful migrants, our highest utopian aspirations for society, as well as our greatest fears. My research is intertwined with my work as an editor and translator of fiction anthologies. I am the editor of Latinx Rising: An Anthology of Latinx Science Fiction and Fantasy and the co-editor along with Sarah Rafael García and Alex Hernandez of the young adult collection Speculative Fiction for Dreamers (both with Ohio State University Press). These anthologies show how significant the speculative arts have been to Latinx literature as well as highlighting the many contemporary authors who are writing in these genres.

What SHRI means to you. SHRI is the space where Latinx faculty have a forum to discuss important issues related to the intersection of Latinx and Hispanic issues. It is a place where issues of equity and inclusion can be discussed and where people can find ways for their teaching, research, and service to have an impact on the communities that support the vital role Hispanic culture and Latinx people play in making UNM a special place in the tapestry of our shared heritage.

What SHRI means to you: The demands of academic life limit our mobility across disciplines and departments. SHRI is truly interdisciplinary and brings together diverse fields and viewpoints that illustrate the strength of cross-discipline dialogue and community-building. This cross-cultural and interdisciplinary flexibility is precisely why I pursued my academic interests in American Studies, and it is why I maintain membership in SHRI as a Chicana faculty member in the English Department.
