Magie Ramírez, PhD
Co-Chair of LxG
Magie (she/her) is a Chicana mama from the San Francisco Bay Area and Assistant Professor of Geography at Simon Fraser University. My work explores how Black, Latinx and Indigenous peoples weave more-just futures in and beyond cities. I am honored to take on the role of Co-Chair with Madelaine, and look forward to continuing to grow our community as not only a professional network, but as a necessary space for Latinx scholars to collaborate and affirm one another. Otherwise, I spend my days collaborating in anti-colonial and anti-displacement work in Oakland, CA and Vancouver, BC, and parenting two small humans who teach me the joy in the details.
LATINX GEOGRAPHIES
Aida Guhlincozzi
Activity Director of LxG
Aida Rosalia Guhlincozzi is a (recent!!) PhD candidate in the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign married to a (recent!!) veterinarian, daughter of educators. Her work focuses on the health geographies of immigrant, Latina women. They are excited for the LxGSG because of the developing, loving community that exists through it, and the academic opportunities to break barriers and advocate for new work in the field.
