Joseph Morales

Dr. Joseph Morales trained in theory of religion at University of Chicago and critical race and ethnic studies at University of California, Berkeley. He approaches research and teaching as interdisciplinary endeavors. A signal feature of his graduate training was the premise that the best humanistic inquiry makes use of the social sciences and vice versa.

Current Work:

Dr. Morales's current research focuses on the intersection of Latina/o literatures and cultures with post-9/11 concepts of race and racism. In an article he is currently preparing, he examines the intersection of Latina/o life writing with post-9/11 conflations of race and religion. He is also preparing a second article on a separate but related topic: the politics of “ethnic” archives and databases.

Research Area(s):

• Ethnic Studies
