Biography
Before I joined the School of Modern Languages and Cultures (MLAC) at Durham in 2011, I worked as Assistant Professor of Spanish and Latin American Studies in the Department of Romance Studies at Duke University. I lecture on the cultures of the insular and post-colonial Atlantic, focusing on Surrealism and the avant-garde; Caribbean texts and diasporas; and Caribbean and Latin American cinema and visual culture.
Research Interest
My research interests include visual, gender / queer, and race theories of the Hispanic and Francophone Caribbean, with a specific focus on island studies, post-creolizing processes, and local / global ecologies. I am particularly interested in discourses of Atlantic space, encompassing connections across the Global South that involve the Afro-Caribbean, the Americas and the Canary Islands.
