 Isabela Fraga is a PhD candidate in Hispanic and Luso-Brazilian Studies at the University of Chicago. Her dissertation project traces the concepts of feeling, sensibility, and sentiment in epistemologies of slavery in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Brazil and Cuba. More specifically, she is interested in the notion of feeling both as a constitutive element of enslaved subjectivities and as a material agent informing medical, legal, financial, and political practices.
