Alemán teaches courses in nineteenth-century American and Chicano/a literatures. His scholarship bridges the gap between both fields by focusing on the U.S.-Mexico War (1846-1848) as a formative moment for Anglo and Mexican American literary and cultural identities. His current book project examines the popular American literature of the war, while Alemán has also participated in the Recovering the U.S. Hispanic Literary Heritage project. His other teaching interests include theories of the novel; Chicano/a literary history; and race, class, and gender in American literature.
