|Assistant Professor
Assistant Professor of Spanish and Portuguese
I am an assistant professor of Spanish and Portuguese at Dartmouth College, working at the intersection of literary criticism and philosophy. My research interests include nineteenth- and twentieth-century Latin American literatures and cultures, focusing on the Hispanophone Caribbean and Brazil. I explore the connections between transatlantic slavery, literature, visual culture, and philosophy, as well as the works of nineteenth-century Afro-Latin American writers. Additional areas of interest include the history of political thought in the Caribbean and Brazil, the interplay between slavery and literary form, and a focus on literary criticism, racial capitalism, Marxist frameworks, and aesthetics. I earned my B.A. from Smith College Cum laude and my Ph.D. in Spanish and Portuguese from Princeton University in 2022, where I received a scholarly excellence award after studying literary theory with Nobel laureates José Saramago and Gabriel García Márquez in Cuba.
