Welcome Emilio Feijóo!

As our former Director of Communications Char Mansfield transitions to their next chapter of life in Chicago, we warmly welcome Emilio as our new Director of Communications.

Emilio E. Feijóo is a fourth year graduate student in the Comparative Literature department. He was born in Baymo, Cuba and came to the USA when he was two years old. 

He received a dual Bachelor’s from Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU), a Master’s in Ideology and Discourse Analysis from the University of Essex and a Master’s from the University of Cambridge with a focus on public intellectuals.

His research interests include poetics, rhetorical theory, French and German 19th and 20th century philosophy, and Caribbean literatures. Before pursuing his doctoral studies, he worked at a small personal injury law firm in Naples, FL as a marketing and operations executive. For the last decade, his undergraduate and graduate studies have revolved around one question: how does a theory of poetry translate into a theory of politics?

Please give Emilio a warm Trinity greeting as you see him around.
