Selene Diaz graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso, where she completed a sociology Bachelor's degree in 2012 and a sociology Master of Arts degree in 2015. She is currently a Ph.D. student in the sociology department at Texas A&M University and expects to defend her dissertation this summer. In addition, I have earned an interdisciplinary certificate in Latino/a and Mexican American Studies (LMAS) at Texas A&M University. The course I have taught are the following: Gender and Society, Race and Ethnicity courses, sociology of Latinx, and Ethnographic Feminist Methods, which uses Community Engagement & Leadership techniques. I am examining the indigenous community of Rarámuris/Tarahumaras that migrated to Ciudad Juárez from the Sierra Tarahumara due to the degradation of the ecosystem, drug trafficking, and government corruption. To understand the impact that immigration has had on this community, I am working on three articles. In the first article, I use gender and migration theory paired with a transnational feminist conceptual framework to examine how migration has transformed gender/power relations in the domestic, economic, social, and cultural arenas. In the second article, I analyze how the Rarámuri in Ciudad Juárez (re)construct their social identity by examining photographs taken by Rarámuris. Lastly, I using the life history of a transgender Rarámuri woman in Ciudad Juárez to understand the impact of rural/urban migration on non-heterosexual indigenous individuals. This feminist ethnography uses an intersectional approach and visual sociology to analyze the effects of rural to urban migration.
