Hi everyone! Welcome back to Queer and Trans Latinidad for Prof. Redwine's Chicanx Studies class. In this episode, Stephanie, Julianna, Ana, and Bryan come together to discuss the issues of imperialism, homonationalism, and settler colonialism as they impact queer and trans folks of color and LGBT movement politics. Specifically, our discussions today address how we might combat these forces and work to do better. We hope that y'all enjoy the conversation! 

Hello, welcome to our podcast episode for CHI161 taught by Professor Joshua Redwine. In this episode Sabrina, Isabel, Estefanía, and María discuss issues of state violence and migration and how that specifically affects trans and queer Latinx/e immigrants.  We touch on topics of asylum seeking, detention centers across the United States, and the inhumane treatment people receive within these centers. We hope our conversation gives y’all a lot to think about and consider looking further into it.

Hello! Thanks for joining us! We are Anai, Arlena, Larisa, and Michelle, four students of CHI 161 at UC Davis. Welcome to our open conversation where we try to dissect and unravel the implications of intersectionality and nuanced identities that we observed in the award winning documentary Paris Is Burning, directed by Jennie Livingston. These discussions help us to critically think and analyze the ways in which individuals within the film experience varying levels of not only oppression but privilege based on their intersectional identities. We further explore how these differences impact not only ball culture, voguing, and drag brunches, but many other varied aspects of daily life.

Hi! Thank you for taking an interest in this episode’s discussion on queer dis-identification. Our names are Shanelle, Lesley, Alejandra, and Caitlin. Our different backgrounds and majors give us various lenses on the process of understanding our identities. We analyze how authors and artists challenge labels, such as mixed-race, disabled, and Afro-Latina lesbian,  to critically think about identity definers, assimilation, counter identification, as well as invisibility. Our conversation is just one step toward identifying with and embodying our truths.
