Bio & Research Interests
Sofi Chavez (she/her/hers) is a Ph.D. student at the University of California, Berkeley. She is a 2019-2020 recipient of the Eugene Cota-Robles Fellowship. Sofi received her BA in English from Bryn Mawr College in 2017.
Sofi’s research interests include Latinx and Chicanx cultural production, queer of color literature, and queer kinship formation. Her dissertation will examine the figure of the queer Latinx child in contemporary literature.
Sofi is also a proud Cancer Sun, Pisces Moon, Virgo Rising, and will happily discuss astrology’s centrality to the queer community, both as strategies of refusal and home-making.
