CFP for MLA 2027 Come think about Green Spain with us in Los Angeles next year! Excited to see what comparative conversations come out of this roundtable.

Happy to share that my research on the fitful reconstruction of Tarna, an Asturian mountain village destroyed in the Spanish Civil War, has been awarded the Watt Prize by ALBA @lincolnbrigade.bsky.social. It’s an honor to contribute to their antifascist legacy. albavolunteer.org/2026/02/alba...

“Blackface y otras vergüenzas” es una obra fenomenal, y Silvia una fuerza.

Entering my Midwest emo phase as I start as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Spanish at Kenyon College. So excited to teach courses here on Spanish language, culture, film, comics, music, and everything else I can cram in. 🌽👨🏻‍🏫

What a night for New Yorkers!

If every person who thinks this is a good idea contributed $10 to the legal costs, we’d be able to cover them right now. MLA’s link is here: www.mla.org/About-Us/Sup...

The MLA, @acls1919.bsky.social, and @historians.org have filed a lawsuit in federal district court today, seeking to reverse the recent actions to devastate the National Endowment for the Humanities. www.mla.org/Resources/Ad...

Yesterday I defended my dissertation “Mythologized Modernization: Asturias and the Construction of Franco’s Spain” and passed with distinction. So grateful to my committee for all the guidance along the way and a fantastic conversation to map the road ahead!

A picture is worth (7)1,000words, they say. What a time to finish writing—for now—about authoritarianism, labor, extraction, and the mythologies of nation.

I participated in a seminar this year on mining and extractivism in Spain and Latin America. Working intensively across several days with a diverse group of scholars was a fantastic way to share work, learn about the field, and forge connections for future collaboration. Highly recommended!
