I earned my PhD at Brown University in the Department of Comparative Literature and I am currently an Assistant Professor at Emerson College. My research interests include: Caribbean literary and intellectual history; literary decolonization, especially in Latin America and the Caribbean; theories of textual, intellectual and aesthetic exchange; literary magazines; translation; modernist and anti-racist poetics, rhetoric, and narrative. My dissertation “Mutating Forms: How Three Magazines Incubated the Caribbean,” consists of a mixed-methods study of three independently produced literary magazines that emerged in the Caribbean during World War II: Martinique’s Tropiques, Barbados’ Bim, and Cuba’s Gaceta del Caribe. This dissertation traces the literary-intellectual technologies that served to unhinge colonial legacies in three different languages and literary traditions, towards the possibility of a multi-lingual regional literature.
