About

I have a joint appoint in Comparative Literature and Women’s & Gender Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. My research and teaching explores discourses of the body in the literature of the Americas, particularly the intersections of gender, race, sexuality, immigration, and national identity.
