Research: Latin Americanist whose research involves cultural production and media industries, digital media and activism, journalism, and media policy. I situate my work at the intersection of cultural studies and critical political economy against the backdrop of globalization. The key questions I engage pertain to the impact of new media on the production of culture, on journalism and on political processes.

Pepe Rojo practices interference in the California border zone both in Mexican and English, as there is no other way to go at it in Tijuana, where he has spent most of his life for a decade and a half. He has published 7 books and more than 300 texts dealing with fiction, media, and contemporary culture, while exploring hybrid formats and genres from sf interventions at the border crossing, speculative theory and fiction to a philosophical dictionary of Tijuana. His work bridges literature, art and academic practices. He is currently raising “Tierra y Libertad” flags, and has just survived a Communication PhD at UCSD. Online, he sometimes is a rugby field, but mostly dwells at en.peperojox.xyz/.
