 INTRODUCTION
Ceremonial Mask, Calima
Culture, c.100 BC.
I
am from Cali (Valle del Cauca), Colombia. Currently I am Associate
Professor of Spanish at Cal State where I teach Latin
American
Theater
and Literature. Previously, I was Director of Latin American,
Latino,
and Caribbean Studies (LALACS) at Gustavus Adolphus
College (1999-2006). I also served as advisor for
the
Independent Study
group in Cuba, SPAN, University of Minnesota
(1999-2000),
coordinator
of the J-Term in Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro (1998), Cuba
(2001),
Mexico (2002-2004) at Gustavus Adolphus College. I worked as
Research
Associate with David William Foster (1996-1997), and as
Teaching
Associate at Arizona State University
(1994-1996).
Before coming to the United States, I
studied music at the Real Conservatorio,
in Madrid (Spain), and received a BA in Colombian Literature, and an MA
in Art Criticism, focused on Latin American Art. I also worked as an
art critic for daily El Espectador,
and the Revista del Museo de Arte Moderno. In
Bogotá, I
also was Assistant Director of the Masters Program in Latin American
Literature (1994-1995), and Visiting Professor of Literature and
Humanities at Universidad Javeriana
(1992-1995). I also served as member of the consortium for curriculum
planning of the Masters in Latin American Art and Culture at
the Universidad del Rosario,
Bogotá (1994-1995). TOP
