About the Author
Héctor Carrillo is a distinguished scholar and author whose work explores the intricate intersections of sexuality, gender, culture, and public health in Latin America. With a focus on Mexico, he delves into how social norms, historical contexts, and global health crises shape intimate lives and identities. Carrillo's research draws from extensive fieldwork, blending anthropological insights with personal narratives to illuminate marginalized experiences. His seminal book, The Night is Young: Sexuality in Mexico in the Time of AIDS (Worlds of Desire: The Chicago Series on Sexuality, Gender, and Culture), examines the impact of the AIDS epidemic on Mexican sexual cultures, challenging stereotypes and advocating for inclusive health policies. As a professor of sociology and gender studies, Carrillo continues to influence academic and activist discourses on LGBTQ+ rights and sexual health worldwide.
