Juan Manuel Ram铆rez Vel谩zquez is an Assistant Professor of Spanish and Colonial Latin American Literatures. He completed his Ph.D. in Hispanic Studies and a Graduate Certificate in Latin American Studies at Washington University in St. Louis. In his first book, he studies the intersections of gender, race, and mobility in early modern and colonial Latin American legal documents through literary performance and affect theory. His scholarly work has been published in the Bulletin of Spanish Studies, Hispanic Review, and Journal of Early Modern Studies. 

 

Juan Manuel has taught language, cultures, and literatures courses in US higher education institutions, both online and face-to-face, for more than ten years. His teaching aligns with his research, which explores silenced voices in published and unpublished literatures. Beyond academia, Juan Manuel has served as a Graduate Fellow for the Washington University College Prep Program (2017-2022) and a tutor for the Prison Education Project (2020). These experiences have expanded his understanding of social and educational justice, further fueling his dedication to working with minoritized and marginalized communities.
