Nayibe Inocencia Bermudez-Barrios received her Ph.D. in Latin American Literatures and Cinemas from the University of Kansas in 2004 and joined the University of Calgary in 2001. Her research focuses on twentieth- and twenty-first-century Literatures of Latin America, with an emphasis on genre, gender, social space, biopolitics, and cinema through the lens of transnationalism and extractivism.
