Research and Expertise

My research and teaching focuses on Spanish Language and Literature, and Latin American fiction and film studies. I am also interested in the Latin American testimonial genre and Central American post-civil-war narratives that describe migration, transnationalism, and exile. My current research interests revolve around exploring the south-south dialogue that can take place when we read texts from South America alongside those from South Asia. I am keen to compare diasporic literature from Latin America with that of South Asia, to observe the issues and concerns that surface when they are read together in the context of global south.
