Associate Professor of English and Literature
Laura
Barberan Reinares
Greater New York City Area
Laura is an Associate Professor of English and Literature at Bronx CC of the City University of New York (CUNY). Her research focuses on the intersections of postcolonial literature and theory and contemporary issues of exploitation in the form of human trafficking/illegal migration. Her book, "Sex Trafficking in Postcolonial Literature: Transnational Narratives from Joyce to Bolaño" (Routledge, 2015; 2017) analyzes how postcolonial fiction depicts coerced female sex trafficking and the discourses such representations legitimize. Her work has also been published in several peer-reviewed journals. Her article "Globalized Philomels" was awarded the 2012 South Atlantic Review Essay Prize. She currently serves on the SAMLA Executive Committee and on the Advisory Board of Crossing Point Arts: Bringing the Arts to Survivors of Human Trafficking.
