Tanya González specializes in U.S. Latina/o Studies and Ethnic American Literature.
She teaches courses in American Literature, Cultural Studies and Latina/o Studies.
Her dissertation, Murders, Madness, Monsters: Latina/o Gothic in the U.S., highlights the ways Latina/o authors and filmmakers have challenged sexist, racist
and homophobic views within their communities. Her current research continues to
explore the ways literature, film and popular culture represent “otherness” as “monstrous.”
She also serves as Vice President of the Latina/o Literature and Culture Society of
the American Literature Association.
