María Gloria is an architect and scholar working at the intersections of environmental literature, visual culture and gender studies. She is an alumna of Swarthmore College and Harvard University. Her dissertation traces the history of vertigo in the 17th century transoceanic world; attending to both the continuity of indigenous thought in conceptions of gender and animate space as to their distortion in colonial practices of economic extraction. She is the co-editor of the upcoming issue on accent for Perfect Strangers, an arts magazine dedicated to the cross-cultural. She looks forward to delving deeper into the themes of accent, breath and voiceover as the graduate student coordinator of Matters of Voice this year. Outside of research, she enjoys swimming, cooking and walking in the city.
