Scholarly and Creative Work

Professor Ingram’s current research focuses on cooking and culinary discourses in modern Spain. Her dissertation, “Spain on the Table: Cookbooks, Women, and Modernization, 1905-1933,” analyzes how cookbooks frame the intersection of gender, social class, and modernization in early twentieth-century Spain. Her interviews with haute-cuisine chefs working in Spain, Ferran Adrià, Santi Santamaría, and Juan Mari Arzak, and her archival research on Spain’s cookbooks have been funded by the Tinker and Mellon Foundations, the Center for European Studies, and the Center for Latin American Studies at Duke University. Ingram has also presented papers about cookbooks, gender, and Spain’s modernization at SUNY Binghamton’s “Women, Home and Nation” conference in 2008 and also at the 2008 meeting of the Association for the Study of Food and Society.

Professor Ingram looks forward to teaching a variety of courses at USD, from Spanish language classes to courses on Spanish literature, film, and cuisine. Before coming to USD, Ingram taught courses at Duke University in advanced composition and conversation in Spanish, literary analysis, and a seminar on Barcelona.
