I am associate professor of Spanish and director (effective May 1, 2016) of International Studies at the University of North Florida. My research centers on colonial Latin America and the textual products of the Early Modern maritime world. I serve as interim chair of the UNF Digital Humanities Initiative (http://unfdhi.org/) and as director/general editor of coloniaLab (http://unfdhi.org/portfolio/colonialab), a collaborative workshop for the edition of colonial-era texts based at UNF.
