In this episode, our guest is Professor Mónica Szurmuk, who discusses three projects that focus on the genre of biographical writing: Her text on Alberto Gerchunoff, an upcoming publication on Latin American Literatures revisiting typical notions of what Latin America means, and finally a project on marginalized spaces of intimacy, whose lives and lived experiences are resignified and inhabited beyond the reduction of dominant perspectives.

She is the author of Women in Argentina, Early Travel Narratives, and La vocación desmesurada: Una biografía de Alberto Gerchunoff.
