SPONSORED PROJECTS
- Spanish and Latin American Literary Studies: Research spans dramatic and literary texts from the 15th through the 21st centuries—with core expertise in the Early Modern (Golden Age) period—focusing on Theatre, Drama, and performance history within Hispanic/Latino contexts.
- Translation Studies: Focus on the theory and practice of translating Hispanic dramatic texts and fiction, utilizing a performance-based methodology where linguistic choices are analyzed through the lens of the actor's voice, the director's staging, and the audience's reception. Expertise includes critical editions, contemporary Latin American literature, and developing professional language resources.
- Performance Studies and Practice: Analysis of acting, directing (including past work as a dramaturg and director), and the representation of marginalized characters in early modern Spanish drama and contemporary film; applying techniques of dramatic analysis and performance to digital teaching and learning modalities.
