On Friday, April 14, Jorge Sánchez Cruz will be visiting UML for a special two-part event.

At 10 a.m. in University Crossing (UCC 242) he will present a lecture titled: "Undocumentedness as Disruption: Undocu-Queer Aesthetics and the Right to Thrive."

At 12:30 p.m. there will be an open dialogue titled: "Reading Across Archives and Traditions: Queer and Trans* Aesthetics in Latin America." This will also be in University Crossing, but one floor up, in UCC 370. In this second event, Sánchez Cruz will engage the group in a conversation about his research, writing, and teaching strategies.

Please join us for either (or both) of these events and send this announcement and the attached poster to anyone who you think might be interested in them.

His work has appeared and is forthcoming in Palgrave Macmillan’s series Global Queer Politics, TSQ, Méster, and the Revista de estudios de género.
