- Summary:
- Tongson (English and gender studies, U. of Southern California) aims to subvert the prevailing imaginary of American suburbia as homogenously occupied by white, heterosexual nuclear families by documenting eruptions of queer of color aesthetics and politics in the suburbs of Southern California that disturb the heteronormativity of prevailing conceptions, focusing on intersections among queer immigrant communities from Latin and Central America and how their varied modes of transit, arrival, and departure inform suburban imaginaries.
