Sarah Revilla-Sanchez

About

I am a PhD student in Hispanic Studies at UBC, where I am supervised by Dr. Tamara Mitchell. My research lies at the intersection of gender and cultural studies in contemporary Mexico, with a particular interest in gendered violence, 21st Century Latin American literature, popular culture, and artivism (art+activism).

Before coming to UBC, I completed a master’s degree in Sociology at the University of Victoria (2019–2021) with Dr. Steve Garlick and a master’s degree in Comparative Literature at Brock University (2017–2018) with Dr. Cristina Santos.
