Biography

I’m Breanna Escamilla (she/her), and I am a Doctoral Candidate in Anthropology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with Graduate Minors in Latina/Latino Studies and Queer Studies. As an interdisciplinary scholar, my research centers around Latina feminist practices and politics, language and identity, and critical internet studies.
