Maite Urcaregui
Maite Urcaregui (she/her/hers) is a doctoral candidate in the Department of English at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Her current research investigates how multiethnic American authors strategically employ visual poetics to navigate and critique the visual politics of race, gender and sexuality, particularly as they demarcate national belonging and who is seen as ‘citizen’. Her recent publications include ‘(Un)documenting single-panel methodologies and epistemologies in the non-fictional cartoons of Eric J. García and Alberto Ledesma’ (Prose Studies, 2020) and ‘“A revelation not of the flesh, but of the mind”: Performing queer textuality in Alison Bechdel’s fun home’ in The Routledge Companion to Gender and Sexuality in Comic Book Studies edited by Frederick Luis Aldama (Routledge, 2021). Her paper ‘Political geographies of race in James Baldwin and Yoran Cazac’s Little Man, Little Man’ won the Comics Studies Society’s 2020 Hillary Chute Award.
