I am saddened to not be joining folks in person in New Orleans, but I am excited to join virtual sessions and connect with prospective authors digitally. I acquire in Latinx History and I am particularly interested in histories of labor, migration, social movements, pan-ethnic and pan-racial solidarity, and scholarship deconstructing the ways in which we currently understand Latinidad. If you’d like to meet with me to discuss your book proposal, just send me an email at alejandra.mejia@dukeupress.edu. I hope you are all taking care of yourselves and your communities!
