Biography
Eliza Rodriguez is Professor of Chicana/o and Latina/o Studies at LMU, and coauthor of Funny Looking: Humor, Queer Latina/o Camp, and Ugly Betty. She is the editor of Stunned Into Being: Essays on the Poetry of Lorna Dee Cervantes and coeditor of The Un/making of Latina/o Citizenship: Culture, Politics, and Aesthetics. Her latest book project, Style, Aesthetics, and the Body: Chicana/o/x Cultural Production and the Making of Latinidad examines the way style and aesthetics work on the body to create individual and collective forms of subjectivity, paying particular to the way Chicana/o/x cultural production works to articulate a critical, solidarity-driven Latinidad. Her latest essay, “Technologies of Contagion: Mushrooms, Viruses, and the Queer Pleasures of Apocalypse” can be found in Chiricú Journal: Latina/o Literatures, Arts, and Cultures 7.1 (Fall 2022)
