About me

I am Professor of Spanish and Faculty Director of the Digital Humanities Center at the University of Virginia. I specialize in water cultures in Latin America through environmental humanities research and public engagement projects. My forthcoming monograph, Hydrocommoning: Water, Art, and Collective Action in Latin America (Minnesota, 2027) explores how artists, activists, and curators coalesce around water to contest entrenched and enduring forms of harm and degradation. I have more than fifteen years’ experience designing, directing, and delivering curatorial, editorial, and film projects, and public programs in Latin America and Europe. I love to run, read and cook, but am happiest when in water!
