About
Thank you for your message. I am presently on sabbatical until September 2017. I will be available through email intermittently; if you have a departmental concern, please contact the Chair of the Department, Prof. David George.
Associate Professor Aburto Guzmán received her Ph.D. from the University of Arizona. In addition to language, she teaches courses on Latin American literatures and cultures from 19th century to the present, as well as translation courses. Since 2006 she has focused on human rights discourses and actions in and around the México – U.S. border. She is a summer-time volunteer with the Tucson-based human rights group the Samaritans.
