Horacio N.

He was a faculty member in the Department of Chicana and Chicano Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara.[2]
Early life
Roque Ramírez was born in Santa Ana, El Salvador. Fleeing the Salvadoran Civil War, he immigrated to Los Angeles at age 12, in 1981.[3] He earned a B.A. in psychology and M.A. in history at UCLA, and a Ph.D. in Ethnic Studies from the University of California, Berkeley.[4] He came out as a gay man in 1992.[5]
Research
Roque Ramírez began his oral history work with San Francisco's queer Latina/o community, centered in the Mission District, as a doctoral student at UC Berkeley in the 1990s,[5] working with activists and organizations including Diane Felix and Proyecto ContraSIDA por Vida, and documenting predecessor organizations such as the Gay Latino Alliance.[6]
At the time of his death he was working on the book Queer Latino San Francisco: An Oral History, 1960s-1990s. He also served as an expert witness on political asylum and immigration.[4]
