    • 2017 November 1, Steven Blum, “How 'Undocuqueer' Immigrants Straddle Two Marginalized Identities”, in Vice[1]:
      In a study released last month, Cisneros interviewed 31 undocuqueer immigrants to unearth how they navigate being both undocumented and LGBTQ; many said they didn't feel fully embraced by either community, meaning they've had to create their own communities and define their identities for themselves.
    • 2018, Jesus Cisneros, “Working with the Complexity and Refusing to Simplify: Undocuqueer Meaning Making at the Intersection of LGBTQ and Immigrant Rights Discourses”, in Journal of Homosexuality, volume 65, number 11, →DOI, page 1415:
      Undocuqueer immigrants ascribe meaning to their experiences by producing alternate subjectivities and subject positions that resist multiple axes of oppression.
