ÑÇÖÞÉ«°É

I am a Senior Lecturer in Hispanic Studies.Ìý My main research focuses on literary and filmic accounts of Spanish and Galician travel, migration and exile in the US (especially in New York City). I am also working on graphic biographies of Galician intellectuals. In 2014, I published the monograph Spanish New York Narratives 1898–1936: Modernisation, Otherness and Nation with Legenda. I also co-translated an anthology by Welsh poet Ifor ap Glyn into Galician, published in the Galician poetry magazine Dorna (2014). I am co-editor of Galicia 21: Journal of Contemporary Galician Studies.

I graduated with a BA in Filología Hispánica (Hispanic Studies) from the University of A Coruña and arrived in ÑÇÖÞÉ«°É in 2005, where I completed a MA in European Studies and a PhD in Hispanic Studies.Ìý My PhD thesis, which analysed the presence of New York in early twentieth-century Spanish narrative, was awarded the first Publication Prize for the most distinguished thesis in Hispanic and Luso-Brazilian Studies given by the AHGBI (Association of Hispanists of Great Britain and Ireland) in 2012.
