Bio

Through visual ethnography and textual analysis, my research looks at how the Ortega-Murillo state of Nicaragua mobilizes aesthetics and memory to organize social relations and manage crises. Via interviews with Nicaraguan feminists, I examine the ways in which the movement's standpoint garners unique ideological critiques that provide alternative frameworks to re-read contemporary Nicaraguan politics.
