My research focuses on 20th and 21st century Latin American literature, film, and cultural studies. You can find me on ResearchGate.
The Other Border Wars
My first book, The Other Border Wars: Conflict and Stasis in Latin American Culture, is forthcoming in the University of Pittsburgh Press's series Illuminations: Cultural Formations of the Americas. I examine often overlooked border conflicts in Central and South America in relation to politics, aesthetics, and philosophy. Through analyses of fiction, poetry, film, and drama, I ask readers to suspend belief in borders as political limits and instead consider them areas of indistinction and possibility.

Up next...
I'm at work on my next book project about toxicity in Latin American culture, provisionally entitled Latin American Apothecary: Contamination and Cure in Literature and Film. The book examines how contemporary literature and film are implicated in producing toxicity, amnesia, and malaise.
I'm also working on a series of articles on geoglyphs and experimental poetry.
