Dr. Kennedy Godoy's current book project focuses on unaccompanied childhood mobilities from Central America and Mexico, exploring their narrative and policy-related representations alongside the social outcomes they generate in dominant ideologies and media. Additionally, his work examines tri-lingual Indigenous poetics of displacement, analyzing how translation and linguistic equivocation illuminate the fluidity and resilience of Indigenous epistemologies, ontologies, and ethics. He has also translated a book of detention letters published by Routledge: Letters from Inside a U.S. Detention Center: Carla's Story and he produced and directed a documentary shot at the Mexico-Guatemala border. His research interests span three main fields—Latinx Studies, Latin American Studies, and Critical Indigenous Studies with a focus on Southern Mexico and the Northern Triangle.
