About
My research focuses on modern and contemporary Latin American literature, arts, and culture, with particular attention to intersections between critical theory and political imagination. My doctoral dissertation, Dissecting Carne: The Politics of Meat and Flesh in Contemporary Latin American Women’s Fiction, examines how recent narrative works by women writers use meat and flesh imagery to challenge national, subjective, and bodily identity. In 2025, the Center for the Education of Women+ selected me as a Riecker Research Fellow. In 2026, I received an Outstanding Graduate Instructor Award for my teaching and a Rackham Predoctoral Fellowship to support my dissertation. I am currently a Mary Fair Croushore Graduate Fellow at U-M's Institute for the Humanities. I have presented my work at international conferences, including those of the Latin American Studies Association (LASA), the American Comparative Literature Association (ACLA), and the Transatlantic Studies Association (TSA). My publications include critical reviews, book chapters, and articles in peer-reviewed journals such as Latin American Literary Review, Latin American Research Review, and Revista Iberoamericana.
