I'm excited to share that my first peer-reviewed article has been published: "Re-visioning the university: José Revueltas and academic self-management" in the journal "Radical Americas." Here's the abstract:
Tracing the political, theoretical and aesthetic developments of acclaimed Mexican novelist and heterodox communist militant José Revueltas, this article argues that their culmination can be found in his theory of academic self-management, as articulated during Mexico’s 1968 student movement. By following Revueltas’s work as it intersects with the historical developments that led up to that moment, this article traces this trajectory through three phases: the 1949 publication of his novel Los días terrenales and the subsequent uproar; the 1962 publication of his major theoretical work Ensayo sobre un proletariado sin cabeza and his expulsion from the Spartacus Leninist League; and the eruption of the 1968 student movement and his development of and advocacy for academic self-management within the movement itself. Looking in depth at Revueltas’s underexplored contribution of academic self-management, the article posits that his legacy offers resonances with the student movements of today.
