In Memoriam for Ricardo L. Ortiz
We write to mourn a giant of our field, Dr. Ricardo L. Ortiz, who passed away last week. Dr. Ortiz was Professor of English at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. He was a leading figure in Latinx literary and cultural studies for the past 30 years. To honor his memory, we wish to reflect on the importance of Dr. Ortiz and his work to the field of Latina/o/x Studies, and more broadly to the intellectual and academic communities of which he was a vibrant member.
