Ph.D., Hispanic Studies, University of California, Riverside, 2004

My research deals with the field of cultural studies applied to Mexican Indigenous literatures, film, and performances in which traditions of indigenous origins in Mexico and current political figures are interwoven, and with the connections between contemporary literature and Mexican culture and political life. My articles have been published in well-respected, refereed journals in the US and Mexico such as Revista de Estudios Hispánicos, Revista Iberoamericana, and Chasqui, among others.
