Alejandra Isabel Otero Pires

I grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which is where I received my BA. I'm currently working on my dissertation, which mostly focuses on Soviet cinema, and a little bit on Soviet era literature. I'm interested in analyzing the Soviet experience by utilizing theories of science fiction studies and understandings of reality. In the past, I've taught Russian and Ancient Greek and Roman Mythology. For the past few years I've taught first- and second-year Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian.

The languages I speak are English, Russian, Serbian, Spanish, and a bit of Swedish. I also have reading knowledge of Portuguese and German.
