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
Cristina Faiver-Serna
Secretary-Treasurer of LxG
Cristina Faiver-Serna (she, hers, ella) is a Chicana feminist, critical race, environmental justice geographer, Doctoral Candidate in the Geography Department at the University of Oregon, and Activity Director of LxG. My current research project examines how Latinx geographies of care are built by gendered social reproductive labor in resistance to state sanctioned racial and environmental violence. Latinx Geographies is one of my intellectual homes and I am looking forward to building our critical scholarly community through meaningful virtual engagement with LxGSG members.
