Joanna Page is Director of CRASSH from October 2022 and a Professor of Latin American Studies at the University of Cambridge. Her research interests are connected to the relationship between science and culture in Latin America, but she has also worked on questions of memory, modernity, capitalism, posthumanism, new materialism, decoloniality, ecology, and environmental thought.

Her most recent book, based on research funded by the British Academy, is Decolonizing Science in Latin American Art (2021). It assembles a new corpus of art-science projects by Latin American artists, ranging from big-budget collaborations with NASA and MIT to homegrown experiments in artists’ kitchens. Other publications include Posthumanism and the Graphic Novel in Latin America (with Edward King, 2017), which is the first book-length study of the recent boom in graphic novels in Latin America. And Science Fiction in Argentina (2016) explores science fiction in literature, cinema, theatre, and comics from Argentina from the late nineteenth century to the present day.
