Assistant Professor of Spanish
PhD, The University of Texas at Austin
Research and teaching interest:
My interest is in Spanish American Literature since the second half of the 20th Century until recent times and the most recent authors from Spain. I include in my research philosophy specially phenomenology ( Husserl) as a way to approach the narratives I am focusing on. This can be seen in my recent publications. Music and Art History are also fields of interest that I intertwine in my research. I try to formulate courses according the designated topic and material given allowing for a challenging environment in which students truly learn, which also serves to enrich their lives. Language and literature can be tools for communication, understanding and enrichment of individual realities and that of others.
