Angela Lopez

Angela M. Lopez is currently a PhD student in Comparative Culture and Language department. 

Ms. Lopez's overall objective is to focus on a comparative study of human rights violations in Latin America during the dictatorships of the 1970s and 1980s through the lens of literature and visual arts. She is interested in the exploration of these subjects through an analysis of any of the following critical theories: human rights, memory-trauma, psychocultural interpretation, feminism, neoliberalism and aesthetics. She is especially intrigued by the circumstances of the time that resulted in the reversal of basic human freedoms throughout much of Latin America. Equally important is to analyze the after effects of civil, cultural, economic, political and social rights that surround this issue. Although time moves forward, human rights violations remain.
