The UC Press announced Mariola's term as co-editor in chief of Latin American & Latinx Visual Culture; she assumes the position after the journal’s founding editor-in-chief, Charlene Villaseñor Black, steps down. Latin American and Latinx Visual Culture is a quarterly peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing the most current international research on the visual culture of Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean, as well as that created in diaspora. A defining focus of the journal is its concentration of current scholarship on both Latin American and Latinx visual culture in a single publication. The journal aims to approach ancient, colonial, modern and contemporary Latin American and Latinx visual culture from a range of interdisciplinary methodologies and perspectives.
