Ylce Irizarry joined the English faculty in 2006. Her recent work appears in Contemporary Literature. She is currently working on a manuscript that explores a shift in the ethics of Chicano and Latino narrative. In Making it Home: Ethics of Chicana/o and Latina/o Literature, she argues that these literatures have been increasingly concerned with the possibilities for empowerment within cultural communities, rather than with the possibilities for acculturation to the Anglo American mainstream.
