Associate Professor of Spanish

I regularly teach courses on early modern Spanish literature, theater and culture, with an emphasis on all things Baroque. I became interested in this historical period for what it tells us about the past as well as our own present. As for the past, I am interested in early modern Spanish texts, performances and images of the 16th and 17th centuries and how they represented urban identities, domestic practices and everyday life objects.  My most recent projects are on issues of domesticity, material culture, cityscapes, consumerism, fashion and early modern women’s daily life. Currently I am researching a very important quotidian aspect of early modern women: the relationship between leisure and dance. I always find connections between my reseach about past cultures and debates in today’s linguistic politics, media and the arts. My courses on the history and politics of language or Hispanophilia/Hispanophobia  reflect those connection, and so does my course on Argentine Tango this summer.
