Carolina Osoria

I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Ethnic Studies. Much of my fieldwork is centered around sex, gender, and sexuality as I research lost cuir and trans representations within colonial literature. Additionally, through an intersection of cultural studies, literary analysis, and politics of translation, I bring together the fields of gender, sexuality, and Indigenous studies to the foreground in order to untangle the power dynamics of colonial, European, and binary epistemologies that have, and continue to be violently imposed onto Indigenous knowledge systems. I have written for, "The Ana" a quarterly arts magazine, presented poetry for Stanford GEN and Forest Hill, have presented their research at UC Davis' AIS Graduate Symposium, SFSU undergraduate symposium, and am a current fellow for the Marcus Undergraduate Research Fellowship.
