I am Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Latin American Cultural Studies and Co-Director of the Centre for Latin American and Caribbean Studies. I am also affiliated with the Centre for Digital Humanities, Cultures and Media.
My research examines the intersections of racial capitalism and cultural production in contemporary Latin America, with a particular focus on the Southern Cone and the Andean region. I work across multiple cultural forms, including literature, visual arts, music, and digital culture, exploring how these media engage with questions of race, class-conscious anti-racism, national belonging, and social justice.
My monograph The Darkening Nation (University of Wales Press, 2018) explores the connections between the 2001 financial meltdown in Argentina and the crisis of narratives of whiteness and national identity by examining literary texts, popular music, artworks and films. I am also the co-editor of Chile desde los estudios culturales and Cultures of Anti-Racism in Latin America and the Caribbean.
At present, I am Principal Investigator on the AHRC-funded project Indigenous Youth Subcultures and New Media in Latin America (2023-2025, £250,000), which examines how young Mapuche and Kichwa creators use social media to develop new forms of 'micro' or 'playful' activism that reimagine Indigenous political strategies. I am also serving as International Collaborator on the Fondecyt project Disaster Writing and the Pink Tide in Latin America: Argentina, Bolivia and Venezuela (1999-2019) (2024-2027), directed by Gustavo Carvajal.
Previously, I served as Co-Investigator on Cultures of Anti-Racism in Latin America (CARLA) (2020-2023, £1million), an AHRC-funded project investigating how artists in Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia address racial diversity and challenge racism through their work. The project's outputs include an online exhibition, a documentary, and a co-edited book entitled Art and Anti-racism in Latin America (forthcoming with Cambridge University Press). During this same period, I contributed as International Collaborator to the Fondecyt project Disaster Writing in Recent Chilean Fiction (2020-2023).
In my view, a university's essence lies in its role as a community of teachers, researchers, and learners united in their quest for understanding and transforming the world. That is why I prefer not to worship the gods of the modern university cult - Marketing, Recruitment, Big Glossy Buildings, and the Holy University Rankings.
