I am from Argentina and arrived at the University of Chicago in 2023. As an undergraduate, I studied Literature and majored in Classical Philology at the Universidad de Buenos Aires, where I earned both a bachelor’s and a teaching degree. I also hold an MA in International Studies (Universidad Torcuato di Tella) and a graduate specialization in Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACSO).
In 2019, I started teaching creative and critical writing to undergraduate students in Arts at the Universidad Nacional de Quilmes. Between 2017 and 2022, I was the editorial director of Espartaco Revista, an independent digital magazine focused on politics and culture that allowed me to do journalistic research and production on social and environmental justice, human rights, and women’s and LGBTQ rights.
My current research interests deal with environmental aesthetics and narratives in Latin American cultural production, and their entanglement with the extractive and colonial dynamic that molds socio-natural relations in Latin America. I wish to research Latin American fiction of the Anthropocene to try to understand what it tells us about the cultural dimension of the ongoing environmental crisis and the change needed to head in a different direction.
