This essay was written as the final project for a class called Book Design: A Cultural History. In the class, I worked with a group to design an online exhibit of books, ranging from Medieval literature to twentieth century short stories, all written by women. This project analyzes the books from my portion of the exhibit and dives deeper into the bibliographical features of 18^th-century children’s literature written by women.

I wrote this essay as the course project of the class Bilingual and Bicultural Experiences in the U.S. The project is based on code-switching data from two TV shows. I compared the use of languages and bilingual language practice, including code-switching, in the shows. Because the shows have similar premises but are separated by forty years, I analyzed the way that bilingualism and biculturalism is represented on screen over time.

This essay is a rhetorical analysis of a mural by Artes Ekeko entitled “Families Belong Together.” My analysis aims to explore the immigrant rhetoric in the United States from another side, namely, the visual. This essay draws on scholars that we were introduced to in this class to create a unique research project in the field of body rhetoric.

I wrote this article as the final paper for the class Bananas, Baseball, and Borders, a history class on the relationship between the United States and Latin America. This short paper presents an overview of the current immigration system and proposes changes based on the current context of Latin American immigration and the history between the region and the U.S. The paper ultimately argues for a more open system that is based on the needs of the immigrants and that attempts to provide some reparations for the problems the U.S. has caused in these countries.
