Jon Beasley-Murray is an Associate Professor of Spanish at the University of British Columbia (UBC), affiliated with the Department of French, Hispanic and Italian Studies within the Faculty of Arts. He holds a Ph.D. from Duke University. His research focuses on Latin American cultural, literary, and political history, with particular attention to the Latin American left, social movements, and colonial maritime networks.

His publications include the influential Posthegemony (2010) and co-edited volumes on Latin America’s left turns and new Latin Americanism. Recent work explores narcoliterature, pandemic narratives, and ecocritical studies of Andean landscapes. He advocates interdisciplinary approaches and open-access scholarship, such as using Wikipedia in teaching.
Teaching responsibilities include courses on Spanish and Latin American studies at UBC. While no specific grants or advising records are detailed, his academic profile reflects sustained engagement with political theory, cultural critique, and Latin America’s socio-historical transformations.
