Biography

Salvador Herrera is an Assistant Professor of Latinx Literature and Cultural Production in the University of Oregon's Department of English. His research and teaching traverses Literary, Performance, and Latinx Studies. Specifically, he analyzes transborder aesthetics to theorize queer life. His work is informed by Chicana feminism, world-systems theory, psychoanalysis, and aesthetic decipherment. Herrera maintains research interests in Queer Theory, Trans Studies, New Materialism, and Border Studies as these fields coalesce around questions of reproduction, nature, and the erotic. He is actively developing a theory of "queer transitivity" for his first book manuscript. He is also revising an article on Héctor Tobar's The Tattooed Soldier for publication. More information on Herrera's previous work and biography can be found on his website.
