INTRODUCTION
Richard T. Rodríguez was born and raised in Santa Ana, California.
He earned his B.A. in English from the University of California,
Berkeley, and his Ph.D. in the History of Consciousness from the University of California,
Santa Cruz. Prior to teaching at Cal State L.A., he was a lecturer in
Ethnic Studies and English at Cal State Hayward, and in American Studies at UC
Santa Cruz. His research, teaching,
and writing are grounded in Chicano/a cultural studies, with particular interests in
film and media studies, literature, visual arts, popular and mass culture, social and cultural
theory, and comparative ethnic and gender
studies.
TEACHING INTERESTS
Professor Rodríguez's teaching interests reflect his training as an interdisciplinary scholar.
He also believes the classroom should function as a space in which to engage the
socio-political forces that inform individual and collective histories and everyday lives.
RESEARCH INTERESTS
Dr. Rodríguez's current research interests focus on the intersections of class, race,
and sexuality;
colonial and post-colonial discourses; and Chicano/a working-class identities and community formations. His
book on the discourse of
the family, and its attachments to masculinity and nationalism in Chicano
cultural production, is under contract with Duke University Press. He is
also editing a collection of writings by and about pioneer Chicano
filmmaker and media activist Jesús Salvador Treviño.
