My research and community organizing constellates across technical and professional communication, digital\/cultural\/material rhetorics, health and medical rhetorics\/literacies, and Black\/Indigenous science, technology, and medicine studies.<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #333333\"><br \/>\nAs a community-engaged scholar, I am especially attuned to issues of health and disability justice, technological colonialism, and how queer and trans Black, Indigenous, and People of Color survive and thrive. I am a founding member of and current organizer in Queer Medicine, a grassroots coalition of queers taking their health into their own hands that operates in and around Lansing, MI, through which I have worked with the Michigan Public Health Institute, the Ingham County Health Department, and the Salus Center.<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #333333\"><br \/>\nMy current manuscript projects focus on community-specific health literacies of HIV\/AIDS on social media and attuning communication design for such knowledges, Indigenous science\/cosmologies as digital rhetorical praxis, and ethical community-engaged research methodologies. I am also planning a book project that examines three case studies of queer and trans BIPOC digital rhetoric practices to outline a community-based, non-clinical framework of health literacy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact:\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #333333\"><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #333333\">floreswi@msu.edu |\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wilfredoflores.com\">http:\/\/www.wilfredoflores.com<\/a>\u00a0| @willflowers (Twitter)<\/p>\n<div class=\"freebirdFormviewerViewNumberedItemContainer\" role=\"listitem\">\n<div class=\"freebirdFormviewerViewItemsItemItem freebirdFormviewerViewItemsTextTextItem\" data-required=\"true\" data-item-id=\"179231519\">\n<div class=\"freebirdFormviewerViewItemsTextTextItemContainer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wilfredo\u00a0Flores (he\/him\/his) PhD Candidate Michigan State University Description of Work: I am a rhetoric and writing researcher who uses qualitative methods to understand how internet-based cultural communities make meaning and share knowledge about their health.
