| Introduction | I teach writing and literature at De Anza College and Cañada College in the Bay Area of California. My scholarly work is focused on gender and empire in southern Africa, sixteenth-century Portuguese shipwreck (the most extensive corpus of work about earliest contact between Europeans and southern Africans), and Luis de Camoes’ epic poem about Vasco da Gama’s voyage around the Africa, Os Lusiadas. Botanical exploration and nineteenth century travel writing are additional interests. |
| Interests | Teaching Writing and Literature; Research in southern African, Portuguese and British travel narratives and fictional recreations. |
