Hannah Grace “HG” Morrison joined the Modern Languages and Literatures department in 2025 as a visiting assistant professor of Spanish. Morrison’s scholarship critically engages with Latin American literature and culture studies, popular culture, queer performance studies, woman, gender and sexuality studies, and media studies. They analyze lucha libre as a performance for exploration and new imaginaries for queer communities in Mexico City. They specifically study gender performance of the wrestlers known as los exóticos in lucha libre mexicana, wrestling in Mexican drag reality TV, and queered wrestling in Mexican visual arts. Performance art, painting, and poetry are also practices that are a part of their critical work. They have been a core member of the performance activist group based in Columbus known as the Taco Reparations Brigade since 2022.
