Allen Baros

I am a 36 year old gay Chicano from Albuquerque living in Seattle with my partner and our two dogs. I have a PhD in American literature and cultural studies. I teach classes on multicultural, queer, and Chicana/o/@ lit and cultural studies at a small liberal arts university. I am interested in representation, identity, race, queerness, and cultural politics. Most often I like to think and write how people build identities and communities that support and celebrate individuals and differences. Other than than, I love to talk about beer, politics, music, videos, video games, and movies (especially really bad ones.)
