When the opportunity arises, I teach French and courses in the English department as well.<\/p>\n<p>I am a literary scholar by training. I completed a Ph.D. in comparative literature at the University of California, Irvine and\u00a0a B.A. in history and comparative literature at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My research concerns the politics of literature as a field in early 20<sup>th<\/sup> century Latin America, especially in post-revolutionary Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>My interest in learning languages came from my passion for literature and history. I am Panamanian-American and grew up partly in Costa Rica, so Spanish is one of my native languages. However, I have spent much of my life as a student of other languages.<\/p>\n<p>One of my goals for Bellevue College is to have a robust, sustainable course for heritage speakers of Spanish. The course now exists and has run several times, and I hope it can become a regular offering in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Courses Taught:<\/p>\n<p>Spanish 100 series (First-Year Spanish)<\/p>\n<p>Spanish 200 series (Second-Year Spanish)<\/p>\n<p>Spanish 231\/232 (Spanish for Heritage Speakers)<\/p>\n<p>French 100 series (First-Year French)<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ui-provider a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z ab ac ae af ag ah ai aj ak\" dir=\"ltr\">French 200 Series (Second-Year French)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>English 101 (English Composition)<\/p>\n<p>English 111 (Intro to Literature)<\/p>\n<p>English 201 (The Research Paper)<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ui-provider a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z ab ac ae af ag ah ai aj ak\" dir=\"ltr\">English 235 (Technical Writing)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>English 271\/272 (Expository Writing)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":1358,"parent":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-1095","staff","type-staff","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/worldlanguages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/staff\/1095","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/worldlanguages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/staff"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/worldlanguages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/staff"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/worldlanguages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/worldlanguages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/staff\/1095\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1705,"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/worldlanguages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/staff\/1095\/revisions\/1705"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/worldlanguages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1358"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/worldlanguages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1095"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
