Biography
Carlos Gomez is a PhD student in the Department of Gender Studies at UCLA. They hold a master’s degree in gender studies from UC Los Angeles, a master’s degree in ethnic studies from UC Riverside, and a bachelor’s degree in comparative ethnic studies from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. In their research, Carlos works to suspend and estrange the human and its attendant, majoritarian sensorium to dislodge the aesthetic world in which they are made meaningful. They examine major and minor scenes from the late-nineteenth century to the present in which race, sex/uality, sensation, and “the body” are assembled and made available to the production of knowledge as contested discourses, including through visual media technologies, medical imaging, cultural production, and quotidian aesthetic practices.
