Teaching
I lecture on a broad range of literature courses with the English department at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). I also supervise BA degree-final projects, MA dissertations and PhD theses. I have been teaching at the UAB since 2005.
Below are some of the courses taught both at a graduate and post-graduate level:
About me
I’m an Associate Professor of English Literature (Professora Agregada de Literatura Anglesa) and the coordinator of the MA in English Studies at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.
I am also the co-Principal Investigator (PI-1) of the research project PID2023-147481NB-I00, titled “Beyond Postmemory: English Literary Perspectives on War and Memory in the (Post)Postmodern Era (POSTLIT),” and of the Principal Investigator of the SGR project, Group for the Representation of Conflict (2021 SGR 00069 Q0818002H).
My main research interest is war representation, particularly the aesthetic and ethical challenges inherent in the rendering of the major conflicts of recent times.
This website will provide a general overview of my teaching and publication activities.
