I am a professor in the English department at Cabrillo. My teaching and research are animated by questions about how writing and art keep a record of expropriation and resistance. I study testimonial literature in Brazil and the United States, considering how authors like Carolina Maria de Jesus, Gayl Jones, and Conceição Evaristo represent histories and stories of citizenship and non-citizenship across literary traditions in the US and Brazil.
