Liz is Assistant Professor in Hispanic Studies at Warwick and a Visiting Fellow at the Centre for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, School of Advanced Study, University of London. Her research examines how nature has been understood in the Americas as an object to be consumed, with a special focus on visual culture.
Liz specialises in the histories and cultures of Argentina and Chile; her current book project analyses how Patagonia’s desolate mythologies have been constructed since the late eighteenth century. More broadly, Liz’s research interests include the history of cartography, Latin American environmental history, the history of aesthetics and visual culture, comparative literature, and critical and cultural theory.
