Fernanda Senger (she/her) is a first-year PhD student in the field of Modern and Contemporary Latin American Art, with a focus on modernist printmaking in Brazil and its relation to hemispheric and transatlantic networks in the first half of the twentieth century. Her research interests include drawing and prints in global modernisms, art and labor, migration, placemaking, ecocriticism, and indigenous studies. Before coming to Temple University, Fernanda was an educator teaching History and Humanities at a public high school in South Brazil, where she also engaged in many community outreach initiatives. In the U.S., she continued fostering her commitment to public humanities, working for the non-profit Red de Pueblos Trasnacionales on multidisciplinary projects and cultural interventions with New York City-based Mexican Indigenous and Latinx communities. Fernanda’s articles have been published in Huellas and Literal, both bilingual (English/Spanish) magazines.
