Research Assistant
Research Assistant in the Department of American Culture's Program in Latina/o Studies.I researched performance artists in Puerto Rico and its diasporic communities. The research topic's focus is primarily on how these communities and performance artists' works have been affected and influenced by the island's political, social, economic conditions, and natural disasters. Particularly, we investigated queer performance artists and the relationship between their work and sexuality, gender, race, class, and colonial status.As part of my work in this project, I presented at the 2023 Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) Symposium.
