Assistant Professor

Spanning film, photography, and virtual reality, Martina Broner’s research sits at the intersection of Latin American cinema and media studies and the environmental humanities. Her book manuscript focuses on the environmental crisis in the transnational Amazon rainforest and examines new media formats that emerge from entanglements between human and non-human entities. She earned MFAs from Columbia University (Film) and New York University (Creative Writing in Spanish) and completed a PhD in Romance Studies at Cornell University. Before joining the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, she was a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at Dartmouth in the Department of Film & Media Studies and the Program in Latin American, Latino, and Caribbean Studies. Broner co-founded the Amazonia Section of the Latin American Studies Association, and she teaches courses such as “Media and the Activist Amazon,” “Streaming Latin America,” “Cameras and Crisis,” and “Writing the Short Story.”
