Today’s Faculty Friday features Prof. María Laura Martinelli in Spanish! María Laura is a scholar of 19th-century Latin America, with a focus on the Southern Cone. Her research explores the intersections of literature, borderlands history, settler colonial studies, and Indigenous studies—examining how nation-states were formed from their margins and how those histories of resistance and dispossession continue to shape the present.

This fall, she is teaching Intermediate Grammar and Composition and Introduction to Textual Analysis, and in Spring 2026 she will offer Postcolonial Desires in Latin American Cultures, a special topics course in Spanish.

We are delighted to welcome María Laura to the World Languages & Cultures community!
