I came to The University of Chicago after receiving a BA in Philosophy from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and an MA in Chinese from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My current work focuses on Late Imperial China’s relation to a globalizing world, and, specifically, on the transformations of its economic imagination. I am also interested in the history of knowledge and translation in the Chinese and the European traditions. I have studied in Spain, Germany and China before coming to the U.S. and have been the recipient of the Fulbright, the ‘La Caixa’ Fundation and Confucius Institute-Hanban scholarships as well as the the Helen T. Lin Award for Excellence in Chinese.
Workshops: Arts and Politics of East Asia (APEA).
Subject Areas/Research Clusters/Field of Study: intellectual and cultural history of China; translation studies; economy in literary and ethical discourses.
Research interests: literary representations of economic exchange and value during the late Ming; textual reception, organization and translation of philosophical texts in China; Literary and anthropological theory.
