My current research focuses on the loss that occurs in the middle spaces of the U.S./Mexico border, through an ecocritical perspective of borderlands literature and aesthetic representations of the borderlands. I analyze the loss of homelands, the destruction of complex landscapes and ecosystems, the marginalization of binational native tribes, the disappearances of migrant bodies, and the erasure of migrant stories, as well as the removal and eradication of migrant objects and artifacts as a calculated step in the State-sanctioned militarization of the borderlands.
