Pablo Celis-Castillo

Pablo G. Celis-Castillo was born in the Northern Andes of Peru in the mid-eighties. Originally trained as a filmmaker, he received his PhD in Latin American literary and cultural studies at the University of Kansas in 2014. He is interested in Peruvian visual culture and in performance theory. He is also interested in Latin American literature from the 19th to the 21st centuries, film studies, and in technology-based approaches to language teaching. His current scholarly work discusses how cultural expressions reflect upon the armed conflict that Peru endured during the 1980s and 1990s. He is particularly interested in analyzing how the psychological consequences of the political violence are portrayed in fictional narratives associated with the conflict.
