Geoffrey Maguire is an Associate Professor of Spanish at Gonville and Caius College, University of Cambridge. He specialises in contemporary Latin American film, literature and visual art, with particular interests in cultural memory, queer representation and sexuality studies. He is the author of The Politics of Postmemory (2017) and Bodies of Water (2024), and his current book project draws queer theory into dialogue with the blue humanities and marine biology through a range of contemporary literary, cinematic and artistic texts. He has held various fellowships, including most recently the Hunt-Simes Visiting Chair of Sexuality Studies at the University of Sydney.

During his time at SCAS, Maguire will be pursuing a project entitled Un/Natural: Marine Sexualities and the Queer Ecological. This study examines a corpus of visual, digital and performance art that explores the relationship between queerness, marine biology and the environmental humanities. It interrogates what distinct approaches to human and non-human sexualities reveal about the ways that ‘nature’ and the ‘natural’ have been mobilised in recent years, both scientifically and politically.

Maguire serves as an Editor for the Bulletin of Spanish Studies and the Bulletin of Spanish Visual Studies, as well as a Trustee for the Society for Latin American Studies and the Cambridge Film Trust.

Geoffrey Maguire is in residence in the spring of 2026.
