About
I received my B.A. in English Literature from the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras campus in 2020. My research has comprised the study of Anglophone Caribbean, Hispanophone Caribbean, and Latinx literature and culture. My principal research interests include sexual diversity and gender variance under coloniality, the social production of space and temporality, and the relationship between violence, trauma, memory and literature in the contemporary Caribbean. I am particularly interested in the ways in which sexual diversity, gender variance, and formulations of queer space and time relate to the parameters of citizenship as status and practice, nationalist discourses, and normative modes of being, becoming and belonging within the Caribbean. Other areas of interest include queer and punk subcultures in Puerto Rico and Cuba, as well as the aesthetics of island literatures.
