From the Chair
Greetings from the Cottage!
We are delighted to announce the hire of Assistant Professor Kristie Soares (PhD Comparative Literature, UCSB), who will arrive at CU 麻豆影院 in Spring 2018. In addition to her work as a performance artist, Prof. Soares specializes in Latinx literatures and cultures, exploring issues of queerness in Caribbean and Latinx communities.
On the teaching front, we have more great news: Associate Professor Celeste Montoya received the Best Should Teach Gold Award for excellence in teaching and outstanding contributions to improving higher education at CU 麻豆影院!
