María Cristina Lugones (January 26, 1944 – July 14, 2020)[1][2] was an Argentine feminist philosopher, activist, and Professor of Comparative Literature and of women's studies at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota and at Binghamton University in New York State.[3] She identified as a U.S-based woman of color and theorized this category as a political identity forged through feminist coalitional work.[4]
Lugones advanced Latino philosophy in theorizing various forms of resistance against multiple oppressions in Latin America, the US and elsewhere. She was known for her theory of multiple selves, her work on decolonial feminism, and for developing the concept of the "coloniality of gender,"[5] which posits that gender is a colonial imposition.
