Dr. Candice L. Bosse Torres, originally from Poland, resides in the United States and is an Assistant Professor of Hispanic Literature and Gender Studies at Keene State College, located in Keene, New Hampshire. Dr. Bosse has received numerous grants, the most prestigious a Fulbright Fellowship at la Universidad Nacional de Autónoma de Honduras during the academic year 2011. She has been widely published in both academic journals as well as books. Her first book is entitled Becoming and Consumption: the Contemporary Spanish Novel (2007). Dr. Bosse has been awarded an advanced book contract with Editorial Guaymuras to publish her book—Voces de la mujer hondureña—that intends to bridge the gap between literary studies and an investigation of the actual conditions of Honduran women’s existence, focusing on their subservient and disempowered position. This book project will combine an analysis of poetry with the development of voice, progressing toward greater autonomy for women by making them audible and visible on the political stage.
