Mauricio Pulecio serves as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures at the University of New Hampshire, where his interdisciplinary scholarship bridges legal studies, literary analysis, and cultural theory with particular emphasis on Caribbean and Latin American contexts.

His academic credentials include:

Dr. Pulecio’s research investigates intersections of law, literature, and queer theory, notably examining anti-sodomy legislation’s impact on LGBTQ representations in Caribbean literary and artistic production. His work spans contemporary Caribbean literature, critical legal studies, postcolonial theory, moral philosophy, and migration studies, consistently foregrounding ethical dimensions of cultural representation and identity formation.

Analysis of his 2011-2022 publications reveals sustained engagement with gender violence, reproductive rights, and queer narratives across Latin America. His scholarship demonstrates methodological rigor in connecting literary texts to broader socio-legal frameworks, particularly regarding black domestic labor ethics, school-based LGBTQ violence, and masculinization of political power.
