Cristina received her Ph.D. in English from Syracuse University in May 2011.
Her dissertation, Heroine Abuse: Feminism, Femininity and the Female Action Hero, argues that female power has become a pervasive but meaningless concept and charts the depoliticization of popular feminism through an analysis of female action cinema.
She is currently an instructor in the Women's Studies program at the University of Alberta.
Her primary research interests include film theory, feminist theory, cultural studies, constructions of femininity, women and violence, the figure of the girl and action cinema.
She also runs her own film review site featuring film reviews with a social conscious twist: www.flickchick.com
