I first met Dara as my professor in her classes “Shifting Currents: Fluidity, Movement, and Transcultural Intersections in Hispanic Caribbean Literature” in Fall 2015; and "Yo soy aquel… Gender and Alterity in Nineteenth-Century Spanish American Writing" in Spring 2017. Later, she helped me with my research projects and provided me with a lot of books to read.
She was the kind of professor you'll never forget. She was smart but also super kind. Her laugh was a joy to hear. (Una risa contagiosa, como dicen) Coming from Peru, I didn't feel very confident at the beginning of my graduate program as an MA student. However, Dara's classes really made me happy and optimistic about the academic world.
It took me some days to process that she is not here anymore but in some ways, she still is. She left a mark in our lives and our my hearts. I will always remember professor Dara Goldman.
