Eva-Lynn JAGOE, Spanish & Portuguese, UofT

Eva-Lynn Jagoe, Assistant Professor of Latin American and Comparative Literature at the UofT, holds a PhD from Duke University and an MA from University of Wales, Cardiff. She teaches Latin American literature and film and her research interests include cities, electricity, and the nineteenth century in Latin America. Her book manuscript, The End of the World as They Knew It: Writing Experiences of the Argentine South, examines representations of the South in Argentine and English texts from the nineteenth century to the present, arguing that the narration of this space is formative in the shaping of a collective memory and history of Argentina. She has published various articles on nineteenth- and twentieth-century Spanish American topics.
