Sarah has always found inspiration and fulfillment from international study and travel, spending her junior year of high school in Sucre, Bolivia, and her junior year of college in Granada, Spain. She has also lived in Oaxaca, Barcelona, and Gijón. While earning her graduate degrees at UCLA, Sarah wrote a dissertation focused on contemporary Spanish fiction, collective trauma, memory, and forgetting. She is currently a professor of Spanish in the Cultural Studies and Languages program at Bennington College in Vermont, where her research and teaching interests center on Spanish literature, comics, and film. She has served as a visiting researcher in Spanish Literature at the Universidad de Oviedo, a José Monleón Post-Graduate Fellow, a Mellon Fellow in education, Bennington College’s Associate Dean for Advising, and Dean of Faculty. Sarah loves the outdoors, which has led her to complete three different routes on the Camino de Santiago and nearly a dozen long-distance running and trail relay races. She never wants to stop trying new things, taking up snowboarding, alpine ski touring, Nordic skiing, and a very casual foray into triathlon in recent years. When not engaged in any of the above, Sarah spends time with her goldendoodle Otis (one of her favorite trail-running buddies) and her three intrepid and delightful teenaged daughters. Fluent in Spanish and conversant in French, Portuguese, and Italian, she has previously led student travel programs in Madrid, Costa Rica, Paris, and Granada.
