Yasmine Gomez (she/her/hers)

Yasmine Gomez is a third year doctoral student in the Department of Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Washington and is completing a Graduate Certificate in American Indian and Indigenous Studies. Coming from the borderlands of Texas, her master's research focused on Tejana/Chicana motherhood, the feminist punk politics of irreverence, and the embodiment of grief in poetry. In her doctoral research, she focuses on the role of techno-colonialism in the borderlands as a haunting through feminist ecologies of sovereignty and focuses on methods of resistance in Tejana Feminist speculative literature.
