Shinsuke Eguchi, Ph.D

Hello, everyone!

I am a Professor of Intercultural Communication in the Department of Communication & Journalism at University of New Mexico. I am also a Director of the Institute for the Study of Race and Social Justice and an affiliate professor in multiple departments and programs (i.e., Women, Gender, & Sexuality Studies, Feminist Research Institute, Africana Studies, and American Studies).

I am an interdisciplinary scholar-teacher whose work deploys queer of color critique to examine the interlocking systems of domination rooted in socially constructed categories of differences such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, nation, coloniality, language, and the body. I privilege an intersectional queer analytic. More specifically, I examine historical and cultural nuances of knowledge(s) embedded in the material realities of minoritized people of color to interrogate the complexities and contradictions of power, social institutions, interactions, and processes. My mobilization of queer of color critique articulates issues and concerns of globalization, postcolonialism, transnationalism, migration, or diaspora grounded in social activism and advocacy. As such, my research forefronts critical, intersectional, and transnational perspectives on differences, identities, and power.

I hope you will get to know about me more through this website:)
