- About Me
I’m a Professor of Hispanic Studies at Boston College, where I teach courses on early modern Spanish texts, theater, and culture, films about immigration in the Hispanic World, anthropological models of interpersonal violence in Hispanic texts. I also serve as a rape crisis counselor there. I sail my old Sabre 28 around the Boston Harbor Islands and to points on the Mid to North Atlantic shore. Needle arts fascinate me, and I did two years of a lace maker apprenticeship in Barcelona. The cost of post-secondary education in the US stuns me, and I’m presently deciding what sort of activism to step into in that regard.
