About

I am an Assistant Professor of Spanish in the Department of Romance Studies, a member of the core faculty in Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, and affiliated faculty in the Southeast Asia Program. I have also taught at Brown University and San Quentin State Prison. My areas of research and teaching include include modern and contemporary Spain, the realist novel, gender studies, medical hygiene, colonialism, race, and disability studies. I also work on late nineteenth-century Hispano-filipino relations.
