Dr. Díaz Basteris (Ella/She/Her) is an interdisciplinary scholar who has dedicated her research and teaching practice to understanding U.S. Caribbean/Latinx cultural forms of resistance to displacement, coloniality, and racial capitalism through literature, popular art, and graphic narratives from the mid-20th to 21st centuries. Her work analyzes representations of self-identified Latinx and Caribbean artists and communities in the US. Her current research looks at visual representations of topics, such as Femicide in Puerto Rico, the undocumented American life experience, the social-political crisis of disasters’ aftermath, and the communal digital storytelling of forced displacement.
