Hi, I'm Julia.

I'm a PhD candidate in Screen Cultures at Northwestern University, Department of Radio, Television and Film.

My work examines the ways in which Afro-Diasporic and Indigenous audiovisual cultures in Brazil mobilize the intersections between fugitivity and speculative worldbuilding and bring Film and Media Studies into conversation with African Diaspora Studies, Indigenous and Afro-Indigenous Studies, and Latin American Studies.

In addition to researching, writing and teaching, I am passionate about photography, short films and music videos.
