Master's Student, Spanish, Teaching Assistant of Spanish

My name is Ally Bigham and I am from Charlotte, North Carolina. I graduated from Wofford College located in Spartanburg, SC where I received my B.A. in Spanish with a minor in Business. During my time at Wofford I was a member of the inaugural softball team and Co-President of Sigma Delta Pi. I conducted undergraduate research and investigated Ethnicity, Race, and Nationality in the Spanish Civil War through Newspapers where we focused mainly on a Spanish Basque newspaper titled Euzkadi

I am a first year M.A. Spanish Literature student here at UGA and I am currently a Teaching Assistant for Spanish 2001. I am currently working as a Research Assistant for Dra. Sharina Maillo-Pozo on her newest project: Through the Eyes of Latinx YouthNarratives of Coming of Age Latinx in New York and Georgia. This project is in its beginning stages. I am also a Spanish tutor for the Department of Romance Languages. My research interests include Latinx Studies and Contemporary Literature. More specifically, I am interested in exploring identity formation and positionality through various narratives including books, movies, and TV shows.

In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my friends, family, and dogs. I enjoy reading, watching tv, and traveling.
