Originally from Barcelona, Alejandra Rosenberg Navarro joins Brown’s Department of Hispanic Studies as Assistant Professor in 2023. She received her PhD from New York University and holds an MA from Columbia University and a BA from Universitat Pompeu Fabra.
A scholar of modern Iberian cultural studies, Rosenberg Navarro employs a multilingual and transatlantic approach to the study of the literatures and cultures from and beyond the Iberian Peninsula during the 19th and 20th centuries. Her research revolves around questions of visuality and archive as related to literature, film, ephemera, and print culture. Her first book project reveals a transatlantic cultural history of modernity regarding media, gender, race, and nation by compiling a corpus of women’s amateur film practices in the early twentieth-century Spanish- and Portuguese- speaking Atlantic.
She also organizes public-facing cultural programming, such as the film series Domesticities–a selection of twelve films and public talks on the politics of the home–that was screened in March 2023 in Portugal’s Cinema Batalha, or the Live in New York City recording of the Spanish podcast Deforme Semanal, Ideal Total at the KJCC.
