Anahi Russo Garrido is the Associate Professor and Chair/Director of Gender, Women and Sexualities Studies/The Gender Institute for Teaching and Advocacy, GITA at MSU-Denver.

We are so excited to have her as our guest on our very first episode of this podcast, thank you Professor Russo Garrido!

Anahi's book, Tortilleras Negotiating Intimacy: Love, Friendship, and Sex in Queer Mexico City is the first ethnography in English to focus primarily on women’s sexual and intimate cultures in Mexico. In it, Professor Russo Garrido explores “'Polyamory, Open Relationships, and Otros Amores de Familia' and the adoption of lesbian polyamories following the 2010 marriage reform that legalized same-sex marriage in Mexico City" among other intersectional histories in this fascinating book.

We are happy to have MSU-Denver history student Nate Rodriguez join us for this interview.
