She was born to Cuban immigrant parents in Canada, grew up in Pittsburgh, PA, earned her BA in English from Yale University and her PhD in English from UC Irvine. She came to KU as an Assistant Professor in 1997 and is now a distinguished professor. She teaches courses in U.S. Latinx literature, African-American literature, literature of social justice, and 20th Century U.S. literature at University of Kansas. She is interested in interviewing Latin American and African families to learn about their histories here in the Midwest.
