Daniel Cooper serves as Professor of Spanish at Randolph College, joining the faculty for the 2018-19 academic year. A specialist in 20th-Century Latin American literature, he holds a Ph.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles (2018) with research focusing on ideological frameworks in the works of Nobel Laureates Pablo Neruda and Octavio Paz.
His educational journey includes:
- B.A. in Spanish and Global Studies from University of California, Santa Barbara (2007)
- M.S. in Global Economic History from London School of Economics (2008)
- M.A. in Global Studies from University of Leipzig, Germany
- Ph.D. in Spanish from University of California, Los Angeles (2018)
Cooper's research interrogates the nexus between literary expression and political ideology, particularly examining how economic policies like NAFTA manifest in poetic discourse. His current critical translation project of Octavio Paz's early poetry extends this investigation into linguistic and cultural mediation.
His scholarly output centers on Latin American literary responses to neoliberalism, with his 2018 article in A Contracorriente analyzing Paz's conceptualization of NAFTA as both rupture and communion. This work exemplifies his broader methodological approach connecting macroeconomic forces with intimate poetic forms.
