Professional Profile
Doctor Romero has a PhD in Hispanic Cultural Studies from Michigan State University and a master's degree in Latin American Cultural Studies from Universidad de Chile.
Their book project focuses on how Latin American intellectual women from the XX century created, sustained, and grew their social and cultural network to become renowned figures in the canon.
Their interests also include linguistic justice, disability studies, and work on memory and literature.
Teaching and Related Service
I have taught different Spanish courses (all levels) and literature, film, and culture classes for over eight years. I've also been an advisor for student organizations (such as the Spanish club, and Q&A) and participated in the Graduate Student Association as chair during my time in the PhD program.
Research and Creative Activity
My research is primarily focused on Latin American Cultural Studies. I also have expertise in Latin American Literature, with a special emphasis in South America during the XX century.
I particularly enjoy learning from a different point of view; always guided by the question "Who is missing from this picture?"
