His experiences as a Joto of color have ultimately shaped the direction of his research. Much of his research is centered around de-colonial theories and methodologies. That is, de-centralizing European ways of knowing as 'universal knowledge' and centering subaltern and indigenous epistemologies. His primary areas of focus include centering the testimonios of rural Jotería de los ranchos y los pueblos, Queer Indigenous studies, and Queer subversive complicity. Luis’s most recent project involves his transnational activism in Mexico. Particularly, the organization of the first-ever Jotería Pride March in pueblo of Tototlán, Jalisco, Mexico.
