Biography

Joshua A. Sanchez is a thirteenth generation New Mexican and first-generation college graduate seeking his PhD. in American Literary Studies at the University of New Mexico. His research methodology employs a multiscalar, multilayered, holistic, and integral approach to macro, meso, and micro phenomena as a gateway to theorizing the infrastructural, reproductive, political economic, domestic economic, and superstructural elements of global, national, regional, and local communities from a tripartite division of conjunctural, structural, and systemic modes of analysis. This methodology enables him to engage in diverse fields such as Decolonial Theory, Feminist Critique, Critical Race Theory, Queer Theory, Disability Theory, Marxist Theory, and Social/World Ecological Frameworks through a radically nuanced perspective that roots its foundations on an infrastructural analysis of the material conditions that necessitate the superstructural elements of the aforementioned theories to come into fruition. His current work focuses on Hemispheric epistemologies and their contribution to the understanding of global political economic paradigms and their relation to modern day global politics. Joshua also serves as a Core Instructor for the Composition Department at the University, critically engaging his pedagogy with his scholarly work.
His papers include: "Reclaiming Humanity In Literature: A Dialectical Analysis of Zora Neal Hurston and Her Critics" written in collaboration with Navid Etedali
