Juan Carlos Mezo-González

Hello!

I am a historian of sexuality and visual culture in 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 in both North and South American contexts. 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 queer cultural production, with a particular focus on graphic arts, periodicals, films, and digital media.

Browse through this website to learn more about my research, teaching and publications, and get in touch if you would like to chat!
