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
Guillermo Douglass-Jaimes
Activity Director of LxG
Guillermo Douglass-Jaimes (he/him/his) the son of Mexican immigrants, is a first-generation college graduate and Assistant Professor in the Environmental Analysis Program at Pomona College. His work is situated in global health equity, and is driven by an interest and inquiry in how conceptions of place and identity can be products of social marginalization as well as sources for community resilience. Guillermo is excited to connect with Latinx scholars through the LxGSG and use these relationships to identify, develop, and share ways of breaking down the explicit and implicit barriers to, and within, formalized education. In his spare time he enjoys tending to his succulent garden and is starting to learn wood working to hopefully build more interesting planters for all those plants. You can find him at @gdouglassjaimes on Twitter and @guillermo.dj on Instagram.
