He holds a PhD in Hispanic Studies from the University of Pennsylvania. His research and teaching focus on Andean cultures and literatures, Indigenous studies, and peripheral realisms. His manuscript, Reinventions of Realism: Neoliberalism, Form and Dispossession in the Peruvian and ColombianNovel, examines various modes of peripheral realisms that provide special insights into how rural violence and dispossession through armed conflict paved the way for neoliberalism in both countries. His most recent publication is “Acumulación y mercancías mágicas: Reconfiguración de la historia colombiana a través del realismo periféricoen Cien años de soledad” (A contracorriente, 22. 1, 2024).
