Research

Broadly speaking, I’m interested in the philosophy and politics behind Latin American dictatorships and the subsequent studies in memory and trauma that follow. My research tends to focus on post-dictatorship Southern Cone literature. Lately I have been working on articles centered on the representations of women and sexuality in post-dictatorship Argentine crime fiction.
