Johanna Bermudez (she/her) is a PhD student whose work broadly focuses on visual representations of Latinx identities and their sociopolitical implications. She explores how racialized identities are constructed and negotiated across various minoritized communities, examines where visual tropes related to identity come from, and traces how these understandings travel across borders. She is specifically interested in films that forge both U.S. and Mexican imaginaries of Mexicannidad and the processes by which Mexico as a nation defines itself aesthetically post-Revolution.

She will be teaching Introduction to Latina/o/x Literature in Fall 2023.
