Biography

I am an Assistant Professor of English Philology in the Universidade de Vigo (Spain) and a member of NETEC (Textual and Cultural Negotiations in the Anglophone World) Research Group, led by Dr Teresa Caneda Cabrera. I completed my Licenciatura (5-year degree) at the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela and obtained a Master of Arts Degree from the University of Kansas. My research in American theater started with my Ph.D. dissertation on the representation of female characters at the University of Salamanca (Spain). In this process, I received funding for two out of three research stays in the United States: University of Kansas in 1994, Columbia University and NY Public Library in 1996, and “Lillian Hellman Collection” at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center of the University of Texas at Austin and the Howard-Tilton Memorial Library of Tulane University in New Orleans in 1998. I published a monograph titled Desafío y Convención. Imágenes de la mujer sureña en Lillian Hellman, which analyzes the image and representation of female characters in her four Southern plays.

My research activity in American literature focuses on contemporary theater, particularly plays by female playwrights and the image and representation of women in drama. After a first theoretical approach based on semiotics, I have extended my focus to incorporate feminism and feminisms, gender theory, multiculturalism and difference. Several studies on plays by Lillian Hellman, Beah Richards, Edna St.Vincent Millay, Edward Albee or María Irene Fornés have been published in academic journals or as chapters in different edited volumes on theater studies. I am in charge of “Literature and Gender Perspective in English-Speaking Countries”, a module in the Interuniversity Master of Advanced English Studies.

I also teach English for Specific Purposes at the Commerce Degree and the Master in International Commerce at the Business School/Facultade de Comercio in the University of Vigo. In this area, I have taken part in several research and teaching innovation projects and I have published on connected topics such as intercultural communication, interdisciplinary collaboration, needs analysis, digitalization of contents, virtual teaching and assessment.

I have been Subdirectora in the Business School, where I was responsible for academic exchanges, cultural activities, equality and gender perspective and communication. I am currently in charge of equality at the Faculty of Commerce, being responsible for the organization and coordination of lectures, seminars and courses to promote gender equality.
