Maria Lugones
January 26, 1944 – July 14, 2020
It is a shock to accept that Maria Cristina Lugones is no longer with us. She is not in Binghamton, Nueva York, in her grand home with the stone fireplace, the long uphill road that leads to her front door. She is not on the other side of the telephone line. It is a shock because we spoke so recently with Maria.

Leopoldo Lugones
Argentine poet
In this Spanish name, the first or paternal surname is Lugones and the second or maternal family name is Argüello.
Leopoldo Antonio Lugones Argüello (13 June 1874 – 18 February 1938) was an Argentine poet, essayist, novelist, playwright, historian, professor, translator, biographer, philologist, theologian, diplomat, politician and journalist. His poetic writings are often considered to be the founding works of Spanish-language modern poetry (not, however, modernismo[1]). His short stories made him a crucial precursor and also a pioneer of both the fantastic and science fiction literature in Argentina.[2]

Argentine feminist philosopher (1944–2020)
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]

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.
Education and career
