Among her other scholarly achievements is the introduction of the figure of Macedonio Fernández - Borges’s master - to a wider reading public, the exploration of the intersection between literary theory, cultural and gender studies and numerous works about poetry, Latino writers and World literature. Borinsky was named to the Academia Norteamericana de la Lengua Española (ANLE) and awarded the "Enrique Anderson Imbert Prize" in recognition of her lifelong dedication to Arts and Literature."
