Our Team.

Hi all! My name is Maggie Allen, and I am a graduating senior at Middlebury College with a double major in Neuroscience and Spanish. To finish out my Spanish major, I decided to engage in an independent study exploring queer identity. Following the completion of my J-term course, Bad Bunny: Genre, Gender & National Identity  with professor Marcos Rohena-Madrazo, I was inspired to explore Caribbean ideations of queerness through the lense of reggaetón music. I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Doctor Madison Felman-Panagotacos for this project. Madison is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Luso-Hispanic Studies Department at Middlebury College. She graduated with a PhD in Hispanic Languages and Literatures and an MA in Spanish from the University of California, Los Angeles. She is a Fulbright-Hays scholar and translator, and her areas of research center on the cultural production of twentieth- and twenty-first-century Mexico and Argentina. She specializes in studies of feminist social movements, maternity and non-patriarchal parenthood, abortion rights, and women’s citizenship. She has been published in  A contracorriente, Imagofagia, Mester, and the LA Review of Books. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Professor Felman, and cannot wait to share the work that we have done this semester
