Nestor Silva
COLLEGE Lecturer
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI study the environmental politics of hydrocarbon extraction sites in the Americas. These sites are inherently uncertain, both socially and ecologically. My research analyzes how science and politics are applied to these uncertainties. I argue that extraction-site politics demonstrate that colonial ideals still inspire responses to fossil fuels and a number of other modern uncertainties.

Cristian Felipe Soler Reyes
COLLEGE Lecturer
BioCristian Felipe Soler Reyes received a Ph.D. in Latin American and Iberian Studies from Stanford University in 2023. His research looks at different Latin American art forms (painting, sculpture, cinema, literature, etc.) from the last 30 years with a transnational, cross-cultural, and transdisciplinary lens.
During his time as a graduate student at Stanford, he created and taught three courses: “Spanish through Comics,” “Latin American Art and Literature,” and “Archaeology of Computer Science.” The first course was an innovative program that put together content-based materials with language learning. It introduced students to comics that presented political discussions and struggles from Hispanic communities across Latin America and the US while it also gave them creative assignments that allowed them to practice and improve their Spanish. “Latin American Art and Literature” was a course offered in the Art History Department that focused on Latin American art and that was entirely taught in Spanish. Finally, “Archaeology of Computer Science” presented students the role that some non-Western societies played in the construction of this field.
Besides his courses, Cristian also chaired for two years “Comics: More than Words,” a research group that was not only a hub for interdisciplinary thought, but also fostered diversity. Students from different backgrounds came together in this space to learn from each other and to exchange their different perspectives. -
