Background

About Ever E. Osorio Ruiz

I'm a Doctoral Candidate in American Studies and Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies at Yale University. During the Fall 22/Spring 23 I will be a Visiting Scholar as a Diversity Predoctoral Fellow at MIT School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences and a Research Associate at the Five Colleges Women’s Studies Center in Amherst, MA. My dissertation The Violet Spring: Radical Politics and Poetics of Mexican Feminisms in the XXI Century, explores the history and configuration of Mexican feminist social movements through slogans and the writing of testimonies in protests, rallies, and in analog and digital media posts. My analysis situates the feminist struggle as a direct action against feminicide, the War on Drugs, and rising authoritarianism. My research has been supported by a Mellon Sawyer Seed Grant, Isa and Avi Mehta Graduate Student Research Fund, the Race, Indigeneity and Transnational Migration Program, the MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies, and the Mexican Public Education Ministry. Ever’s fields of expertise are critical theories, Latin-American studies, feminisms, cultural studies, and modern social thought.
