I teach courses in Colonial Spanish American Literature, Translation, Spanish for Business and Spanish Language.
My research interests include the literatures of early modern Iberia and Ibero-America, Colonial Spanish American literature, including Alta California and the Spanish Borderlands, Translation Studies, especially vernacular translation in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and Renaissance humanism and neoplatonism in Iberia and Ibero-America. I am also a great admirer of Italian literature, especially Dante Alighieri's Divina Commedia.
I am co-translator of The Dialogues of Love (1535) by Yehudah Abravanel (University of Toronto Press, 2009).
