My primary research areas of interest are Mexican documentary films that focus on gender, sexuality, care work, capitalism, and disability. More specifically, my work analyses film representations of disability in Mexico from the 21st century in order to illustrate the variety of functions that “disability” has played in rendering illnesses on screen.
