Meet Elizabeth Hanna Rubio, a member of the Society @SANA_Anthro and part of the new @JANA_Anthro Editorial Collective, which is currently accepting article submissions. Elizabeth is an incoming Assistant Professor Gender and Sexuality Studies at UC Riverside. Elizabeth builds on her work as a community organizer to conduct research that responds to emergent questions and practices in leftist social justice spaces. She is currently completing her book manuscript entitled Dreams Beyond Recognition: Liberalism’s False Negotiations and the Search for Alternatives in Korean American Immigrant Justice Work. Based on six years of ethnographic research with undocumented Korean American organizers in Southern California, Washington D.C., and Chicago, Dreams Beyond Recognition examines the fraught politics of multiracial coalition-building in immigrant justice spaces and the complexities of enacting immigrant justice through an abolitionist lens.
