I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Hispanic Studies at Brown University. My research interests broadly include 20th-century Latin American narrative, with a particular eye for Mexican narrative and essay from all historical eras. These interests also encompass the intersection of history and memory in the historiographical enterprise, Jewish Latin American authors, and modern critical theory. My present dissertation research focuses on the ways bodies are deployed to formulate and question conceptions of the nation in recent Mexican historiographic metafiction. I expect to complete my degree by May of 2011.
The purpose of this web site is to present my teaching credentials through a variety of measures: my teaching philosophy; concrete teaching experience and competencies; sample course materials such as syllabi, lesson plans, assignments, and assessments; formal pedagogical training; evidence of my teaching effectiveness through student evaluations; and my CV.
