Ph.D. Emory University. Senior Lecturer. I did my Ph.D. in Comparative Literature and am committed to comparative and interdisciplinary approaches to Latin American literature and especially the literature and culture of the Hispanic, Francophone and Anglophone Caribbean. My book manuscript, titled Elusive Origins: The Enlightenment in the Modern Caribbean Historical Imagination  is currently under review by the University of Minnesota Press. I have worked extensively on post-Revolutionary Cuban cultural production and have published articles and reviews in Afro-Hispanic Review, MLN, Latin American Literary Review, Inti, Universitas Humanistica (Bogotá), and others. An essay on the Cuban composer Leo Brouwer recently appeared in  Literature, Music, and Cultural Identity in the Caribbean.   I recently taught a course for the Program in Jewish Studies called "Jews and Judaism in Latin American and Caribbean Literature" and an  essay on this topic, "Oigo Luego Sé: La muerte y la doncella en el discurso post-Shoah" is forthcoming.
