BIOGRAPHY


I specialize in Latin American intellectual and cultural history. My research explores the relationship between lettered and performative cultures in the region, through the lenses of media aesthetics, postcolonialism, and race studies. At CUNY Hostos, I teach courses exploring the history, politics, and cultural diversity of Latin American and Caribbean peoples and their diasporas. My classes combine historiographical discussions with the close reading of texts, images, and videos. I have received the 2018 Sylvia Molloy Award for Outstanding Dissertation from NYU, and have been awarded fellowships and grants from the Andrew Mellon Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, L’École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, the Tinker Foundation, Emory University, and the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru.
