I have taught at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth since 2001, having worked previously at the Ohio State University and the University of Georgia. At UMass Dartmouth, I teach primarily Portuguese and Lusophone African literatures and cultures, and I hold a joint appointment in the Department of Women's and Gender Studies. I served as Chair of the Department of Portuguese from 2003 to 2007. I have published several books, including The Portuguese Nun: Formation of a National Myth (Bucknell University Press, 2000; Portuguese translation issued by Imprensa Nacional-Casa da Moeda in 2006), O Formato Mulher: A Emergência da Autoria Feminina na Poesia Portuguesa (Coimbra: Angelus Novus, 2009), and O Mundo Gay de António Botto (Lisboa: Sistema Solar, 2018). I have also co-edited the volumes After the Revolution: Twenty Years of Portuguese Literature 1974-1994 (Bucknell University Press, 1997), Embodying Pessoa: Corporeality, Gender, Sexuality (University of Toronto Press, 2007; Portuguese translation published in 2010 by Assírio & Alvim), and Gender, Empire, and Postcolony: Luso-Afro-Brazilian Intersections (Palgrave Macmillan, 2014). My articles have appeared in Colóquio/Letras, Luso-Brazilian Review, Portuguese Literary and Cultural Studies, Slavic and Eastern European Journal, and SubStance, among other journals. I was also the lead author of the first edition of Ponto de Encontro: Portuguese as a World Language (Prentice Hall, 2007). I served as Vice-President (2003-04) and President (2005-06) of the American Portuguese Studies Association. In 2007, I was recognized as UMass Dartmouth's Scholar of the Year. I currently serve as editor of the Portuguese Language Textbook Series and coeditor of the journal Portuguese Literary and Cultural Studies, both published by Tagus Press/Center for Portuguese Studies and Culture at UMass Dartmouth, and as coeditor of the Journal of Feminist Scholarship. In 2022, I held a Fulbright research fellowship to Portugal for my current book project tentatively entitled Among Women: Cultural Agency, Sociability, and Sexuality on the Margins of Portuguese Modernism.
