Juan Carlos Mezo-González

​

Hello!

I am a historian of sexuality and visual culture in Mexico and the Americas. I earned a Ph.D. in History from the University of Toronto and I am currently a Liberal Arts & Professional Studies Postdoctoral Fellow at York University.

​

My research focuses on the relationship between print media, images, and histories of gender, sexuality, race, and social movements. My first book, Borderlands of Desire and Liberation: A Transnational History of Gay Print Culture in the Americas, is under contract with Duke University Press, and I have also published work in various peer-reviewed journals. My new project examines the figure of the devil in the popular culture of modern Mexico, with a particular focus on graphic arts, periodicals, films, digital media, and queer cultural production.
