Identity Politics '16

<p class="font_8">Citlalli studied philosophy and Arabic at Georgetown University. Her upbringing in East Los Angeles and exchange year in Cairo fueled her to fight for justice through an anti-imperial lense as she found parallels between the experiences of people of color in the U.S. and those in historically colonized countries. An aspiring academic, her research involves modern philosophy and post-colonial critique, and she looks forward to challenging imperial hegemonies within and without the academy</p>
