Marci R. McMahon is Associate Professor in the Literatures and Cultural Studies Department at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV), with affiliations in the Gender and Women’s Studies program and Mexican American Studies program. She previously served as the Interim Director of the Mexican American Studies Program and Center at the University of Texas Pan American (UTPA) and University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV), a bicultural and biliterate university along the US-Mexico border in South Texas and one of the largest Hispanic Serving Institutions in the nation. McMahon is a leading scholar in Chicana/o and Latina/o studies with publications in The Chicano Studies Reader: An Anthology of Aztlán, 3rd Edition; Aztlán: A Journal of Chicano Studies; Chicana/Latina Studies: The Journal of MALCS; Frontiers: A Journal of Women’s Studies; Journal of Equity & Excellence in Education; and Text & Performance Quarterly. She is the author of Domestic Negotiations: Gender, Nation, and Self-Fashioning in US Mexicana and Chicana Literature and Art (Rutgers University Press, 2013), the first interdisciplinary study to explore how US Mexicana and Chicana authors and artists across different historical periods and regions use domestic space to engage with recurring debates about race, gender, and immigration. Her current book manuscript Listening to Latinidad: Sonic Cultural Citizenship in US Latina/o/x Theater and Performance extends this focus on performance, gender, and immigration, to explore critical moments in US history when citizenship has been redefined by US Latina/o/xs and has been in crisis; the book argues that citizenship is performed through sound, with aurality and listening as vital to performances of citizenship.
