Paul Michael Leonardo Atienza
Critical Race, Gender & Sexuality Studies
CRGS assistant professor Dr. Paul Michael Leonardo Atienza publishes “Feeling Failure: Appnography and Its Affective Ties to the Ethnographer’s Life" in a special issue of Ethnoscripts. The special issue considers the impact of dating apps beyond dating, moving past the narrow milieu of intimacy to interrogate their impact across other spheres. Atienza reflects on their research among queer Filipino men in Manila and Los Angeles to examine how feelings of failure permeate various aspects of the researcher’s life, influencing writing, thinking, and self-perception, and his study underscores the enduring nature of these emotions.

Paul Michael Leonardo Atienza
Critical Race, Gender & Sexuality Studies
