Building on his ongoing research and publications on masculinity and class in early twentieth-century Mexico, Victor studied the figure of famed operatic tenor Jose’ Mojica (1895-1974), who while with the Chicago Opera form 1919 until the 1930s, developed extensive ties among the Chicago’s gay community.
