1 About me
Kristine Munoz, Instructor
I’m Kristine Muñoz, Professor of Spanish and Director of the Global Health Studies Program at the University of Iowa.
Although I spent the first 30 years of my career as a social scientist, I moved into public digital humanities work beginning in 2015. My research has always centered on Colombia, first as ethnographic studies of interpersonal communication and persuasion, more recently in peace education and the structural violence of work.
An ongoing project in the public humanities is Medellín After Escobar, a collection of essays and images in English and Spanish that emphasizes the accomplishments and triumphs of a city whose people are as beautiful as its geography, despite media narratives that focus primarily on its most infamous native.
Another ongoing initiative is the Health Humanities Hub, an NEH-funded online database of narrative medicine teaching resources, in English and Spanish.
