Amy Sheeran, Assistant Professor of Spanish, Modern Languages & Cultures

Amy Sheeran’s research focuses on the intersection of literature and race, gender, and sexuality in the discourse of blood purity in early modern Spain. Focusing on Cervantes, Calderón de la Barca, María de Zayas, and others, she explores how the bodily and the textual influence each other. Her other areas of research interest include early modern travel narratives in the Spanish-speaking world and contemporary Latinx literature. At Otterbein, she teaches courses on Spanish language, literatures, and cultures, and on global cultures.
