My research focuses on gender and Latin American modernism. My recently completed monograph project entitled The Space of Latin American Women Modernists (under review) offers a new reading of Latin American modernism through the lenses of gender and space. By analyzing the contributions of eight contemporaneous women –four writers and four plastic artists– this study highlights the way in which they constructed and conceived of their identities as artists through distinctly spatial tactics. Organized around four key themes (domestic architecture, the public sphere, the natural world, and travel), this multidisciplinary, comparative monograph sheds new light on the works of well-known figures such as Mexican painter Frida Kahlo and Chilean poet Gabriela Mistral, whilst bringing to the fore artists that remain virtually unknown, such as Bolivian sculptor Marina Núñez del Prado.

My work has been published in journals such as World ArtJournal of Iberian and Latin American Studies and Modernism/modernity. I edited the Latin American section of Global Modernists on Modernism (Bloomsbury, 2020) and am editor-in-chief of Mistral: Journal of Latin American Women's Intellectual & Cultural History.
