Biography

Jorge Daniel Vásquez is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology and Social Studies at the University of Regina. His scholarship focuses on global transnational sociology, comparative historical sociology, and social theory, with a particular emphasis on race and ethnicity. Dr. Vásquez's work investigates the intersections of race, indigeneity, gender, culture, and politics and explores how knowledge is produced within anti-racist, trans-American networks. Upon joining the University of Regina, he continued his research as an inaugural Changemaker Postdoctoral Fellow at the School of International Service at American University. His current projects include a book manuscript titled "The Sociology of the Global Color Line," which examines the trans-American networks of Black intellectuals such as W.E.B.
