Biography:
I am interested in the points of convergence of graphic narratives of the world, and on the results of their interaction in terms of form and content. I focus on graphic narratives originally written in English, Japanese, and Spanish (i.e., comics, manga, and historieta). As I write about women and girls' comics cultures, I am mapping out aesthetic migrations and connections that I find.
Although I study in the United States, I continue to participate with RING, the international network of comics scholars, and I peer review for ESLA, a journal of cultural and literary studies at PUC, Chile. I am also part of the executive committee of the Liberal Arts Collective at Penn State.
