​As an ABD doctoral candidate in Spanish cultural studies at Arizona State University, Vera Coleman's research explores the convergences of gender, class, ethnicity, and the environment in the Spanish-speaking world while foregrounding the work of women and other marginalized groups whose aesthetic contributions remain underrepresented in mainstream cultural studies debates and college curricula. Her dissertation examines multispecies relationships in contemporary Latin American film, art, and literature while uncovering indigenous epistemologies about human-nonhuman entanglements in the age of the Anthropocene. Vera has received awards for her scholarly work from the Asociación Internacional de Literatura y Cultura Femenina Hispánica (AILCFH), Feministas Unidas, and the Association for the Study of Literature and Environment (ASLE), and her articles have been published in the journals Gestos, Confluencia, Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment, and Letras femeninas.
Maeve Norton is a professional software developer in San Antonio, Texas. She graduated from Arizona State University (ASU) in May 2018 with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems and a Minor in Spanish Literature and Cultural Studies. Her interest in the digital humanities began while working as an undergraduate intern for the Arizona State University Library, where she helped librarians remediate the metadata of institutional digital scholarship in the ASU Digital Repository. Maeve developed and re-designed the Latam-Films website during her senior year at ASU, and her experience in both technology and Spanish arts and culture served her well throughout the process. Maeve graduated top of her class with a diverse portfolio of web development projects, and as a published author of an article (in Spanish) that explores Hispanic culture and communities in Phoenix, Arizona. When she's not working, you'll likely find Maeve listening to music or enjoying a meal at a local restaurant.
