I am an art historian and digital humanist whose research bridges visual culture, material studies, and community-based memory work. My postdoctoral project, Rebuilding Memory, Shaping Futures, explores how testimony, mapping, and digital tools can foster historical justice, intergenerational dialogue, and collective healing in postwar El Salvador.

Digital Storytelling and Interdisciplinary Collaboration: A Project in the Spanish as a Foreign Language Classroom

Published in Innovación pedagógica y transformación digital en la enseñanza de la lengua, la literatura y la cultura hispánicas, 2025

Drawing on socio-constructivist and literacy studies frameworks, this article examines the theoretical foundations of transdisciplinary collaboration, digital literacy, and Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK). Using a case study of a course project’s design and implementation, it analyzes the collaborative process, reflects on the institutional conditions that enabled or limited it, and considers the evolving role of instructors, librarians, and digital humanists as educators, learners, and collaborators.
