I am a writer and Senior Lecturer in World Literature at the University of York where my research and teaching focuses on queer textualities, literature and migration, Iberian and Latin American culture, and creative critical form. My book Queer Genealogies in Transnational Barcelona centres on queer kinship, alternative communities, and migration between Barcelona and Latin America.
I am the author of articles in journals including Feminist Theory and Comparative Literature, chapters in volumes such as The Other Catalans: Representations of Immigration in Catalan Literature, Citational Media: Counter-Archives and Technology in Contemporary Media Culture, and essays in literary magazines such as Latin American Literature Today.
I am currently co-editing a volume titled Creative Critical Interventions for Social Justice (under contract with UCL Press) with Abeyamí Ortega and Hakan Sandal-Wilson.
My poetry has been published in magazines including Propel (UK) and Piel alterna (Uruguay), and by The Broken Spine (UK). Short stories that I have translated from Spanish and Catalan into English have appeared in Palabras errantes and Asymptote.
Prior to joining York in 2021 I was an Early Career Fellow at UCL where I received funding from the Leverhulme Trust for the project ‘Decolonial Feminisms in Contemporary Latin American Literature’. Before that I was Lecturer in Spanish at Christ’s College, University of Cambridge (2017-19). I have been a visiting researcher at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), the Universitat de Barcelona and the Universidad de la República, Uruguay. I have also taught at the Universidad de Guanajuato, Mexico. I completed my PhD in Spanish and MPhil in Latin American Studies (both AHRC-funded), as well as my BA in Modern and Medieval Languages at the University of Cambridge.
