My name is Joseph L. Flores. I am from El Paso, Texas. I received my bachelor's and master's degrees from The University of Texas at El Paso and my Ph.D. from the University of New Mexico.
I am an Assistant Professor at Gonzaga University. I am passionate about designing practical, emotionally intelligent, and thoughtfully curated curricula and courses that prepare students for their professional growth.
My research exists at the nexus of critical media studies, conspiracy theories, Christian nationalism, far-right political mobilization, and our everyday politics. I have worked in academia for the last twelve years and pride myself on working in the community through campaign and labor organizing and providing services that include conflict resolution and mediation.
