Scholar – Educator – Mentor

Hola! I’m Jorge, and I’m a scholar of Mexican American literature, culture, and urban studies. My research examines how literary and nonfiction narratives represent the discursive and spatial displacements that shape Mexican American communities across the U.S.-Mexico Southwest Borderlands.

I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of New Mexico’s Center for Regional Studies, where I am developing my forthcoming manuscript, Corazones Urbanos: Critical Literary Regionalism and Southwest Cities.
