Christina A León

Assistant Professor of Literature

Christina A. León is Assistant Professor of Literature at Duke University. She specializes in literary, anticolonial, critical race, feminist, and queer theories, with a concentration on Latinx and Caribbean literature, art, and thought. Her scholarly writing focuses on the interplay of materiality and semiosis to better theorize and attend to works by authors and artists who often become known only through their identificatory markers, overdetermined by grammars of race and gender. She is the author of Matters of Inscription: Reading Figures of Latinidad (NYU Press 2024). Her articles and essays have been published in Women and PerformanceASAP/JournalDiacriticsGLQSargassoSmall AxeRepresentations, and Post-45. She serves as the co-editor of the Gender Theory book series at SUNY Press.
