Pedro is a PhD student in Latin American Cultural and Literary Studies with focuses in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Latine Studies, and Memory Studies. He holds a bachelor’s degree in medicine, Health, and Society and Latino and Latina Studies from Vanderbilt University.
His undergraduate research examined the history of the Chicane Feminist Movement between the 14th to 20th Century to highlight and retell the lost histories, symbolisms, and figures that have silenced previously. This was done through using contemporary interpretations of Feminist Theory, Critical Race Theory, and Queer Studies. In addition, Pedro was awarded the 2025 Fondation de France Claude Pichois Grant, where he examined a comparative literature analysis of Feminist Movements across various regions, including France, Quebec, and Chile through the works from Charles Baudelaire, Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, Nicole Brossard, and Isabel Allende.
His research interests include Contemporary Latin American, Caribbean, and Latine Literature, Critical Race Theory, Feminist Theory and Praxis, Queer Studies, and Border/Immigration Studies and Symbolisms.
