Jonathan Leal

Jonathan Leal is an author, composer, and researcher based in Los Angeles. Originally from the Rio Grande Valley, a South Texas region located at the border of the United States and Mexico, Leal works as an artist-scholar to create writing and collaborative arts projects that grapple with issues of borders and memory, place and belonging, technology and aesthetics, and creative and political practices. His musical projects have been featured in Pitchfork, Democracy Now!, Texas Monthly, Remezcla, Latino USA, and elsewhere, and his writing has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles Review of Books, The Rumpus, San Francisco Classical Voice, and elsewhere. He is the author of Dreams in Double Time (forthcoming August 2023 from Duke University Press) and co-editor of Cybermedia: Explorations in Science, Sound, and Vision. A former Emerging Critic with the National Book Critics Circle (2018–2019), Leal holds a PhD in modern thought & literature from Stanford University and is currently an assistant professor in the Department of English at the University of Southern California.
