As a scholar, his forthcoming book Radical Chicana Poetics is the first comprehensive book on Chicana lesbian/radical feminist writers, and the first written by a non-Chicano, straight man. As a teacher, he has created courses with a very strong LGBTQ component. He promotes gender equality and encourage critical reflection on gender and sexuality every day in his classes. Also, he has organized and endorsed many co-curricular activities, including the art exhibition and the symposium around the work of Chicana lesbian artist Alma López, and Chicana lesbian author Alicia Gaspar de Alba, http://ncc.gmu.edu/events/3194.
