I am a Klarman Postdoctoral Fellow at Cornell University’s Department of Romance Studies and will be starting a tenure-track appointment in Latin American and Iberian Cultures at the University of Southern California in 2025. I hold a Spec. in Creative Writing from Casa de Letras, a B.A. in Literary Theory and Modern Literature from the Universidad de Buenos Aires, an M.Phil. in Hispanic Studies from the University of Glasgow, and a Ph.D. in Iberian and Latin American Cultures from Stanford University.
My research addresses the still unresolved question of what “writing” is. My first book project argues that Latin American authors posited innovative theories of writing in their fiction, debunking the Romantic myth of the author as an “inspired genius” and reconceiving the act of penning as a mediated, embodied, effortful, and situated activity. In my follow-up research, I explore how South American science fiction and Queer art imagine writing technologies of the future.
