About Me

My name is Dr. Pablo Zavala and I'm an Assistant Professor of Spanish and Latin American Studies at Loyola University New Orleans. I was born in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, and grew up on that border, traveling to El Paso, Texas daily for work and school. I was an auténtico "front chih" (from the license plates back in the day), and that literal and metaphorical liminality in many ways still characterizes who I am today.  I now call New Orleans home and am very happy to be here.
