My research and teaching focus on Early Modern Hispanic literature and culture, with particular emphasis on the intersections of empire, religion, and transoceanic exchange during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In the classroom, I encourage students to engage critically with the cultural, political, and ethical questions raised by early modern texts, while drawing connections to contemporary debates about globalization, migration, colonial legacies, religious conflict, and cultural diversity. My courses emphasize the relevance of the early modern Hispanic world to present-day discussions about empire, transnational exchange, and religion.
