Welcome! I’m Dr. Meagan Solomon (she/her). I’m a Chicana Jewish lesbian scholar and educator based in Austin, Texas. I hold a PhD in English and currently serve as an Assistant Professor of Feminist Studies at Southwestern University.

My areas of specialization include Latina/e feminist and lesbian literature, women of color feminisms, and intersectional queer studies. More specifically, my research investigates subversive sites of queer intimacy and feminist resistance in Latina/e lesbian literature and performance. You can read my work in Chicana/Latina Studies: The Journal of Mujeres Activas en Letras y Cambio Social, The Journal of Lesbian Studies, Chicana Portraits: Critical Biographies of Twelve Chicana Writers, and more.

As an educator, my pedagogy is guided by women of color feminisms, decolonial and abolitionist feminist theories, and queer of color critique. I teach core courses in feminist studies as well as interdisciplinary courses that focus on my areas of expertise, including Latina Lesbian Literature and Radical Women of Color.

Beyond my professional roles, I’m a cat mom of two, a lover of art and astrology, and a founding member of Malflora Collective, a community project dedicated to preserving the lives and legacies of Latina/e lesbians through the publication of a magazine, podcast, and digital archive.
