In her research, she explores the representation of cultural elements such as technology and sports in literature from the French- and Spanish-speaking worlds. She is the author of Inter- tech(s): Colonialism and the Question of Technology in Francophone Literature (University of Virginia Press, 2016), which examines the representation of modern technologies in the works of Francophone writers from Africa and the Caribbean. In her teaching, she has assigned video projects on three separate occasions: in two Spanish courses, “Introduction to Reading Literature” and “Soccer in Latin America”; and also in her GE course, “Global Sports and National Cultures.” She is looking forward to learning more about digital storytelling, especially with regard to its ability to foster critical thinking and creativity in the classroom.
