A graduate of Yale and Harvard universities, Professor Rivera is the author of two poetry collections, and has published over a dozen articles on Latin American literature and the study of gender and sexuality. His current book project analyzes the ways in which different types of bodies (the “fat” body, the black body, the absent one…) have been represented in contemporary Puerto Rican poetry. A finalist for multiple awards in teaching excellence at Harvard and at Clark, Professor Rivera teaches courses on Latin American literature, language and culture from Modernism on.
