Research Interests: Claudia's work interrogates the intersections of decolonial theory, feminist epistemologies, and queer historiography. She examines marginalized archives of queer desire and the radical illegibility of non-normative gender/sexuality constructions in early 20th-century Latin America, with particular emphasis on transatlantic networks and interdisciplinary methodologies.

Publication Trends: Recent articles focus on transatlantic queer networks (2017-2021), archival decolonization, and intersectional analysis of Latin American women writers (1930s-2010s). Key themes include Gabriela Mistral's intellectual construction, gendered professionalization strategies, and visual/textual embodiment across modernist movements.

Scientific Awards:

• Sylvia Molloy Award for Best Article in the Humanities (2021)
• NEH Summer grant
