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.
