Research
I’m interested in the role of literature/literary texts as sites of resistance. In particular, I’m interested in cultural literary magazines published in Mexico City from the 1930s-1980s by Zapotec student-authors. Broadly, I aim to make connections between global anticolonial/decolonial movements.
