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

Eddy Sandoval
Activity Director of LxG
Eddy (he/they) is a first-generation PhD Candidate in Geography at the University of Washington, Seattle and Activity Director with the LxGSG. I currently examine the relationship between citizenship status, political economy, and mobility in post-industrial Midwestern suburbia. I am excited to continue serving as a board member with the LxGSG because I want to further develop some of our virtual programmings to become a supportive community for those navigating both academic and personal lives. As the child of Mexican bakers, I enjoy baking bread, cakes, and other baked goods for others, as well as learning from other bakers!
