I have been researching issues concerning gender and sexual identity in relation to popular culture (especially the depiction of queer masculinities in film, social media, literature and photography) in Latin America, the Caribbean and Latino communities in the USA. My current research has moved onto an exploration of the cultural history of HIV in this geographical areas. I am the editor of 'HIV in World Cultures: 30 Years of Representations' (Ashgate Publishing, 2013) and the author of 'Representations of HIV/AIDS in Hispano-American and Caribbean Culture: cuerpos suiSIDAs' (Ashgate Oublishing , 2014). I am currently investigating the cultural history of HIV stigma in Latin American popular culture.
