Biography / Academic Interests
:
Jane Marcus-Delgado, Associate Professor of Spanish, has been working in interdisciplinary Latin American Studies for over two decades. She coordinates CSI’s programs in Spanish and in International Studies, and has taught a wide variety of postsecondary courses in those areas. She has lived, worked, and studied extensively in Latin America and other parts of the world. In recent years her travels have taken her to China, Uganda, Argentina, and Italy. She has worked closely with Kadir Has University in Istanbul, Turkey, to develop a “virtual classroom” in which a course on globalization is team-taught in real time with an overseas partner via videoconferencing technology. Her courses reflect her background in interdisciplinary studies, which explore intersections between the humanities and the social sciences, especially in the areas of political and cultural studies. Prior to joining the CSI faculty in 1999, Dr. Marcus-Delgado served as a Fulbright project officer for the Latin American Scholarship Program of American Universities (LASPAU) and as an associate at the InterAmerican Dialogue, a policy think-tank in Washington, D.C. She is a strong advocate of international education who works closely with the College’s Center for International Service.
Scholarship / Publications
:
Professor Marcus-Delgado’s scholarship falls into two broad, interrelated categories: interdisciplinary studies of Latin American politics and international education pedagogy. In the former area, her work focuses on political leadership and corruption, emphasizing literary articulations of politics. She has written on topics ranging from the collapse of presidencies in Peru and Argentina to the fictionalized accounts of historical leaders in Paraguay and the Dominican Republic. Her current projects include a study of the cultural production of “soft power” in shaping public opinion of U.S. foreign policy. Professor Marcus-Delgado’s work on pedagogy calls for a rethinking of international studies with an objective of reworking traditionally adversarial global binaries. She also continues to investigate various manifestations of political power and leadership, a subject she explores in depth as a Fulbright scholar in Ecuador during the 2007-2008 academic year.
