As an interdisciplinary scholar, I examine representation of ethnicity, food, gender, migration, and sexual identity in the Americas and Caribbean. My new book - Imagining Latinx Intimacies - is a set of related studies involving visual art, experimental writing, poetry, and personal narratives. My research also explores the social dimensions of intellectuals and artists such as Gloria Anzaldúa, Audre Lorde, Guillermo del Toro, and Jamaica Kincaid. My studies also have considered textual and visual narratives concerning the spaces of cultural groups such as artists and intellectuals from Chile, Antigua, México, Puerto Rico, and the mainland United States. Through these studies, I explain how cultural artifacts tell stories and create blueprints for alternatives beyond the challenges of our present day. During the past decade, I have taught classes that focus on matters of class, ethnicity, food, gender, genre, narrative, and sexual identity. In the year 2012, I completed my Ph.D. in American Studies and Comparative Literature at Indiana University Bloomington. In 2003, I completed a dual B.A. in Spanish and English at The College of New Jersey. (he/they/él pronouns)edit

Imagining Latinx Intimacies addresses the ways that artists and writers resist the social forces of colonialism, displacement, and oppression through crafting incisive and inspiring responses to the problems that queer Latinx peoples encounter in both daily lives and representation such as art, film, poetry, popular culture, and stories. Instead of keeping quiet, queer Latinx artists and writers have spoken up as a way of challenging stereotypes, prejudice, and violence occurring in communities ranging from Puerto Rico to sites within the mainland United States as well as transnational flows of migration. Such migrations are explored in several ways including the movement of queer people from Chile to the United States. To address these matters, artistic thinkers such as Gloria Anzaldúa, Frances Negrón-Muntaner, and Rane Arroyo have challenged such socio-political problems by imagining intimate social and intellectual spaces that resist the status quo like homophobic norms, laws, and policies that hurt families and communities. Building on the intellectual thought of researchers such as Jorge Duany, Adriana de Souza e Silva, and José Esteban Muñoz, this book explains how the imagined spaces of Latinx LGBTQ peoples are blueprints for addressing our tumultuous present and creating a better future.

As the study of food culture has expanded, researchers have taken to examining the relationality of eating practices and social identities in media contexts. Employing an integrative approach to study social media, this research brings into focus the eating habits of a segment of the world’s population that has been studied infrequently: people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (or LGBTQ+). Connecting acts of tourism to social media and queer experience, the following examination illuminates how the eating experiences shown in social media marketing have parallels with earlier acts of politically charged commensalism among LGBTQ+ people. As such, this study speaks to the way that groups, businesses, and individuals have enacted culinary tourism by building upon queer discourses of food in the context of two American resort towns: Provincetown, Massachusetts and Palm Springs, California. Attending to the values created by food-related aesthetics, language, and social spaces, this article shows how social media postings construct and imagine the ideal tourism experiences of queer peoples. Consideration likewise is given to the cultural diversity of LGBTQ+ travelers including how resort towns have been putting forth efforts to create more inclusive culinary environs.

As a popular form of nonfiction, the genre of the digital magazine essay is a fitting means of chronicling the lives of queer and transgender culinary figures both past and present. In the past decade, a range of digital culinary magazines have begun to create spaces for recounting the personal stories and history of culinarians, who at times have been overlooked and pushed to the margins. To examine these phenomena, the following article turns to the digital essays of the Black transgender writer Eva Reign, the queer Bengali American journalist Mayukh Sen, and the gay Iranian American chef Andy Baraghani. Much like the celebrated food writer M.F.K. Fisher, these writers foster deeper thinking about diverse foodscapes as well as create transformative portraits of the ways that queer and trans people of color are addressing the marginalization caused by systemic inequalities like food deserts and related injustice. As the essays mirror the intimate lives of queer and trans people of color, they also reflect upon struggles in culinary contexts that involve substantive labor, leading us to consider queer hustles of the past.

Through comparing the Hollywood films Arrival and The Shape of Water, this article explicates the films’ similar portrayals of gender, social collaboration, and monstrosity. Although the mainstream media in the United States has linked the idea of the monstrous to larger global forces, the two films suggest that “the monster” exists much closer to home. Hence, this article makes the case that monstrosity occurs in a variety of formulations such as the actions of national authorities like governmental officials that oppress and endanger a myriad of American citizens as well as newcomers. Further, this article makes the case that the films of Guillermo del Toro and Denis Villeneuve encourage viewers to reimagine the idea of monstrosity and its relationality to several spaces for the sake of the greater public good.

Looking at several related texts, the author explores how the testimonios (or testimonial writing) of queer Spanish speakers across the Americas attest to the social complexities embedded in alternative and dominant formulations of familial experiences. In this study, the author examines the writing of three writers who collect testimonios - Arnaldo Cruz-Malavé, Norma Mogrovejo, and Mariana Romo-Carmona. Through discussing these writers' collections, this project considers how collections of queer testimonios from the early 2000s have the effect of decentering and reconfiguring the conventional family sphere in ways that benefit vulnerable populations. Instead of maintaining dominant familial paradigms, editors and participants involved in such collections (re)conceptualize familial experiences by breaking domestic silences around queer desires.

In this commentary, the author provides an examination of Michael Cunningham’s 2005 narrative Specimen Days, which is composed of a trio of novellas that tells stories of three separate, yet related time periods. By positioning this narrative in relation to perspectives of human desire, feeling and migration, the author explains how Specimen Days speaks to cultural scripts and performances of daily life. In particular, Cunningham’s narrative can be interpreted as being a multilayered allegory concerned with the social relations of intimacy including the ways people experience non-normative forms of amative sociality across a bevy of contexts.

This critical examination articulates how women and youth depart from the dominant social standards of Jamaican culture and society. To explain these subjects, this article provides a commentary on how Staceyann Chin's The Other Side of Paradise and Patricia Powell's A Small Gathering of Bones show women and youth addressing matters of gender and sexuality in the late twentieth century. Moreover, Chamberlain explains that for these figures, "Being queer is much more than a label or way of identifying one’s sexual orientation. Queerness can be both a real and imagined connection to a future, or outlook, in which the marginalized can theorize a non-heterocentric everyday life.”

In his article "Queer Hybridity and Performance in the Multimedia Texts of Arroyo and Lozada" Ed Chamberlain examines the unconventional writing of Puerto Rican writers Rane Arroyo and Ángel Lozada. Arroyo and Lozada craft texts which can be interpreted as performances and these performative texts blend internet-based writings with more traditional genres including the novel and poetry. Arroyo's and Lozada's stylistic approaches exhibit a queer sensibility which resembles the way in which Latina/o queer people construct and perform their cultural identities. Chamberlain argues that these queer performances suggest we can neither create nor identify absolute truth in matters of identity and sexuality. Thus it becomes necessary to embrace the fiction and playfulness of everyday life whether it be online or face-to-face.

Narrating a powerful political story, the book Madre and I: A Memoir of Our Immigrant Lives is a narrative about the Chilean American playwright Guillermo Reyes, who draws attention to his body and the social relations he experienced during his coming of age. To understand this poignant memoir, the writer Ed Chamberlain explains how Reyes employs spectacular imagery and storytelling as a means of commenting on the challenges that LGBTQ migrants encounter in quotidian experiences. In particular, this article considers how Reyes narrates his physical experience and his personal struggle to accept himself.

In this article, the researcher Edward Chamberlain examines the portrayals of family, identity and social relations within Jamaica Kincaid's memoir My Brother. In exploring the text's scenes, Chamberlain explains how Kincaid constructs a counterpublic and space that exhibit a queer sensibility and social experience. Chamberlain contends that this text's social and spatial dynamic are constituted by the writing's discourse including Kincaid's discussion of travel, sexual identity, and the experience of HIV/AIDS during the last decades of the twentieth century.

The researchers sought to identify which factors contributing to homophobia in the law appeared to play a role in college student conceptualizations towards homosexuality and, in particular, attitudes towards specific “gay rights.” A quantitative content analysis of media coverage of anti-gay hate crimes in the two years before and after the death of Matthew Shepard was conducted. After documenting increases ranging from a low of 64% in certain newspapers to a high of 1543% in magazines and journals, a series of semi-structured interviews with college freshmen and seniors were conducted. The results were compared and contrasted not only in an attempt to see if increased media attention had changed their own perceptions about gay rights, but also to uncover the bases of their perceptions regarding the specifics of gay rights ranging from gay marriage and homosexuals’ participation in the military, to anti-gay crimes of violence and living with gay friends and family members. Overall, students were generally supportive of gay rights in the abstract and with regard to various particular rights, but differences in both gender and level of education were manifest. The theoretical implications for Gordon Allport’s contact hypothesis as well as the policy implications for both the legal and educational systems are explored.

Across a myriad of communities, poetry has been embraced for the sake of expressing one’s inner sense of self as well as one’s experiences and emotions such as the desires that animate human beings’ lives. In this manner, many Latinx writers of poetry have taken to depicting their cultural identity and sexual identity in poetry for a variety of purposes. Over the decades, Latinx poetry has explored desire and sexual experience in multiple forms. As an examination of these phenomena, this chapter discusses the poetry that has been written by both prominent Latinx poets and more recent poets, who have described their sexual identity in terms such as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, two-spirit, and beyond. In addressing the plurality of histories and politics that have shaped Latinx lives, this chapter connects key examples of poetic writing with the salient developments, social issues, and intellectual perspectives that have garnered attention in prior decades as well as more recently.

During the past decade, a growing number of artists have broken new ground in the storytelling of cooks and cookery in the literary arts. Instead of revisiting the lives of so-called happy homemakers and stoic male chefs, this chapter examines the stories of cooks who are seldom profiled by employing the framework of "recasting" to elucidate the queer narratives written by the Black American author Bryan Washington and the white American novelist Bill Konigsberg. In this comparative study of two texts, the researcher Edward Chamberlain examines how a set of queer and culturally diverse cooks become the preparers of food in Washington's familial novel Memorial (2020) and Konigsberg's young adult novel The Music of What Happens (2019). These texts portray a rearrangement of family life, which causes the queer protagonists to take on the role of cook and push the boundaries of gastronomy, thereby extending what the Black and gay historian Michael Twitty envisions as "culinary justice." This chapter is forthcoming in a collection from the University of Georgia Press.

Using the methods of autoethnographic study, this book chapter examines what it means to be a queer youth who cooks meals in America during the 1980s and 1990s. As a part of this study, the author employs theories of gender, sexuality, and identity for the sake of explaining the sociopolitical challenges that queer youths have been facing in schools and beyond. Looking to the social experiences of cooking, this chapter offers a set of critical reflections and research concerning the community of cooks that have stood in support of young people who cook meals for families and themselves.

Contributing to the scholarly dialogues of Migration Studies, this chapter offers an examination of the social media presence that is created by the popular Puerto Rican performer Ricky Martin. Drawing on several sources including Ricky Martin's autobiography and his social media postings, this chapter theorizes how Ricky Martin creates a unique pattern of fathering and family-making in several contexts. Moreover, this chapter's examination speaks to the ways that Ricky Martin's self-portrayals offer an alternative way of understanding the experiences of family, fatherhood, migration, and humanitarianism. This chapter is forthcoming in a scholarly collection from Rutgers University Press.
