91福利

I joined 91福利 and SMLC in 2014. Before coming to 91福利, I taught at Queen's University, Belfast, where I completed my Doctoral Studies. During my time at 91福利, I've been teaching a wide range of modules at different levels and I've had multiple admin roles. I'm also an Alumni Fellow of the 91福利 International Higher Education Academy and Senior Fellow of HEA. I was awarded a 91福利 Award for Teaching Excellence in 2021 and a 91福利 Award for Personal Tutoring Excellence in 2025.

Teaching and Research Interests

My main teaching interests centre on modern Spanish literature, particularly on women鈥檚 writing from the eighteenth century onward, as well as on modern and contemporary Spanish politics and culture. I am also engaged in the pedagogy of Spanish as a second language and in the design of inclusive and diverse curricula.

My research interests focus on 18th and 19th-Century Spanish literature and culture, from the perspective of Anglo-Spanish relations, with a particular interest in the periodical press and women's writings. I'm currently preparing an edited anthology of translated texts written by 18th-Century Spanish women writers.

Previous projects:

'Approaches to Teaching the #EarlyModernHispanicWorld to 21st-Century Students'.

'Decolonising Babel': Multilingual and Inclusive Language Pedagogies at 91福利 and Beyond'Link opens in a new window 

Scholarship and Teaching & Learning:

• I'm co-directing the SIG ''.
• I'm collaborating in the Exploratory Pedagogic InquiryLink opens in a new window (EPI) project with other 91福利 colleagues from other faculties.
• I'm also interested in developing and cultivating SoTL communities.
