My interdisciplinary scholarly research and publications explore the textual intersections of history, society, politics and culture over narratives of Colonialism and Globalization throughout the long Nineteenth Century across the Hispanic world,  particularly in Latin America and with a special emphasis on the Southern Cone. I graduated from Universidad Austral (Valdivia, Chile), completed my MA in the Universidad de Santiago (Santiago, Chile) and obtained my PhD from Washington University in St. Louis (Missouri, USA). I am currently a Professor of Spanish at Gettysburg College (Pennsylvania, USA) .
