My research explores personal narratives about migration throughout the Spanish-speaking world, with an emphasis on migrant experiences in the US and Mexico. Presently this work centers on developing the Kentucky Hispanic Heritage Project website as a digital space to collect, preserve, and share existing written, visual, and audio sources that document and celebrate the history, culture, achievements, and contemporary experience of people of Hispanic origin living in Kentucky. I am also interested in the ways that inclusive and digital pedagogies overlap with second language acquisition to create more equitable and just learning environments for students of Spanish.
