I am an associate professor at Sam Houston State University. I recover, preserve, examine, and make available the literary history of the Spanish Civil War exile in the United States, US Hispanic periodicals, and migration and exile literature at large. She is the author of Fighting Fascist Spain. Worker Protest from the Printing Press (University of Illinois Press, 2020) and Correspondencia personal y política de un anarcosindicalista exiliado: Jesús González Malo (1943-1965) (Universidad de Cantabria, 2016). She is co-editor of Writing Revolution: Hispanic Anarchism in the United States (University of Illinois Press, 2019).
My research builds on the knowledge generated by the Recovering the U.S. Hispanic Literary Heritage (RUSHLH), the Research Society for American Periodicals (RSAP), and by networks of radical and exile studies.
I am a board member for the Recovering the U.S. Hispanic Literary Heritage, for the Research Society for American Periodicals, and for the International Editorial Advisory, Manchester University Press Contemporary Anarchist Studies Book Series.
