Research interests

I specialise in contemporary Latin American film, literature and visual art, with particular interests in cultural memory, queer representation, and sexuality and gender. My current research project, entitled Bodies of Water, explores the representation of queer sexualities in Latin American film through theories of temporality and embodiment. I am the author of The Politics of Postmemory (2017) and, with Rachel Randall, New Visions of Adolescence (2018).

Teaching Interests

I teach broadly on undergraduate papers for the Section of Spanish and Portuguese, as well as on the MPhil courses in MMLL, Film Studies, Gender Studies and Latin American Studies. I am currently the Director of the PhD Programme in Latin American Studies (CLAS).
