Kristian Ayala
Ph.D. Student in English, admitted Autumn 2019
Graduate Students in COLLEGE, Stanford Introductory Studies OperationsBioI’m very interested in how people generate good ideas, both in writing and speaking. In the classroom, my goal is to show you that good ideas don’t just appear in our heads, as if thanks to some innate power. Rather, good ideas come from methodical thinking. Good ideas, in fact, can come from thinking with rhetorical figures. The next time you’re struggling to explain something to a friend, use a simile. What is something your friend already knows? Try making a comparison with that familiar thing. Rhetorical figures are not just stylish dress for sentences. They’re useful, like a flashlight when the power goes out.
Trained in an English department, I am a rhetorician working at the intersections of stylistics and argumentation. Powered by humanistic methods, my scholarship focuses on invention, especially updating the art of topical invention. In my current book, I offer a theory of rhetorical figures defined as epitomes of the dialectical topics, an old tradition of informal logic. My theory of the figures challenges our notion of creativity, which is currently too reliant on individualistic achievement.
A revamped theory of the figures powers my criticism. As part of my research program, I work on literary and rhetorical traditions in US American and Latinx contexts. My book presents a case study along these lines: I explain the informal logic of some Latinx nostalgia between the World Wars. For a sample of my research program, see my article in the forthcoming special issue of Pasados: Recovering Histories, Imagining Latinidad.
Before coming to COLLEGE, I taught courses in literary studies and in liberal-arts general education. Before that, I taught high school in Chicago and New York City. -

Esteban Calvo
Director, Bing Overseas Studies
BioEsteban Calvo, PhD, MsPH is a global scholar and academic leader in longevity, health, and public policy whose work connects education and research to real-world impact. Trained as a sociologist and epidemiologist, he studies how social contexts across the life course shape health, wellbeing, and inequality, and how institutions can respond to demographic change through evidence-based policy and practice.
Over more than two decades, Dr. Calvo has designed and led interdisciplinary academic and research initiatives in Chile and the United States. He has served as Dean of a large and diverse faculty, founded interdisciplinary research centers integrating social and health sciences with gerontology, and built international partnerships linking universities, governments, and civil society. He has also held faculty appointments across schools of the social sciences, public health, and business, and advised public and private institutions across three continents on issues related to aging, health, social security, and strategy. Across these roles, his focus has been on strengthening institutions, improving decision-making, and creating learning environments that translate scholarship into institutional and public impact.
His research draws on large-scale longitudinal data from up to three million individuals across more than 160 countries and has informed public policy, institutional strategy, and legal decision-making. His work has been recognized by the American Public Health Association, the American Sociological Association, the Gerontological Society of America, and the Retirement Research Foundation.
As Director of the Bing Overseas Studies Program in Santiago, Dr. Calvo is committed to offering students a rigorous and immersive academic experience grounded in Chile’s social, cultural, and policy landscape.

Kurt Denver Campbell
Overseas Studies - Cape Town, Bing Overseas Studies
BioProf. Kurt Campbell is the Director at the Michaelis School of Fine Art at the University of Cape Town. He is a past Harvard University fellow and visiting scholar at the University of Minnesota, Indiana University and the American University in Cairo. He has developed productive interdisciplinary dialogues as an artist, curator and academic writer. South Africa’s recent political past and the accompanying legacies often feature in his research. Crucially, this focus is not to re-inscribe the ideas of ‘race’ or ‘apartheid’, but rather to assist with a final critique of these boundaries and thus contribute to a potentially richer self-concept for individuals as they move in the intellectual world. His recent research is dedicated to South African rock art epistemology after apartheid.
