Welcome!

I am a doctoral candidate in political theory in the Department of Government at Cornell University. My dissertation excavates and works with the political thought of Sor Juana InĂ©s de la Cruz (c. 1651-1695). I think questions of canonicity and colonial-imperial and patriarchal power through Sor Juana’s texts and her position within the Early Modern Iberian world. To do so, I read Sor Juana historically, conceptually, and poetically.

Before arriving at Cornell to pursue my Ph.D., I received a bachelor’s degree in political science from the Center for Research and Teaching in Economics (CIDE) in Mexico City and a master’s degree from the University of Chicago.

My research has been supported by the Luigi Einaudi Graduate Dissertation Fellowship, the Cornell Graduate School, and Mexico’s National Council for Science and Technology (Conacyt).

Thank you for taking an interest in my work!
