Biography : 

Eva-Lynn Jagoe is Professor of Spanish and Comparative Literature and Vice-Principal of Innis College. Her work moves between cultural theory and environmental and energy humanities, and frequently experiments with collective and public-facing forms of writing. She has written and co-written books and articles on Latin American and Spanish cultural studies, environmental issues, and feminist memoir, including Take Her, She’s Yours (punctum books, 2020) and Roberto de la Torre: Art and Extractivism in Contemporary Mexico (MCM Prime, 2024). Her essays have appeared in Comparative Literature Studies, Journal of Ecohumanism, South Atlantic Quarterly, Discourse, Revista Hispánica Moderna, English Studies in Canada, and Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies, among others. A member of the Petrocultures Collective and After Oil School, her current writing focuses on the cultural politics of soil and food systems, as well as contemporary farmer protest and the contested imaginaries shaping agrarian futures.
