Sexualities, Ahead of Print.
The author weaves her favorite quotes from Ken Plummer’s celebrated book, Telling Sexual Stories with her own voice to offer a modest tribute and express her gratitude to him. In this exercise of creative writing, she celebrates his contributions to her intellectual and professional growth as a feminist ethnographer, a witness to endless sexual stories with populations of Mexican origin in both countries, the United States and Mexico. The author reflects on the priceless lessons she learned from him, since that day she listened to him from a corner at the American Sociological Association conference, when she was a shy graduate student.
