Detail from “Mujer, 2013” by Debora Kuetzpal Vasquez
Institutional Heteropatriarchal Violence and the Future of Chican@ Studies, the title and content of this focused issue continues and commemorates the decolonizing work of transformational analytic paradigms that center the study of gender and sexuality in Chicana/o Studies, and critically assesses the reductive and bifurcating sexualizing/gendering tendencies that give rise to heteropatriarchal social landscapes.
