Description:

Professor Abel R. Gómez, an Assistant Professor of Religion at Texas Christian University, researches the relationships between sacred sites, ceremony, gender and sexuality, Indigenous cosmologies, and (de)colonization. He is currently at work on his manuscript titled Living on Ohlone Lands: Sacred Sites, Ceremony, and Solidarities, which draws on his ethnographic research among Ohlone tribal communities in the San Francisco Bay and Monterey Bay regions to theorize Indigenous revitalization and movements to protect sacred sites.
