Profile
I research, write, and teach on how performance theory and practice can help us better understand our shared histories of coloniality, violence, and structural inequality across the Am茅ricas, and particularly in Brazil. With Diana Taylor, I coedited the multilingual digital books 聽(2015) and 聽(2021). My essays have been published in several academic journals, including the Journal of Global South Studies,听Latin American Theatre Review,听TDR: The Drama Review,听Theater: Yale's Journal of Criticism, Plays & Reportage, and聽Theatre Topics.
