Teaching Experience
Most of my teaching revolves around Spanish American culture and literature, with emphasis on contemporary Mexican literature, film, music, and food. I have taught seminars on countercultural music and literature, the historical novel, commercial cinema, and comparative literature.
Research
I am currently finishing a manuscript on rock and roll, literature, and film in Mexico. Once that’s done, I plan to write a history of Mexico’s rock music from the 1980s to the present. I am also considering a book on the reception of James Joyce’s writing in Mexico.
