My research focuses on contemporary Spanish film and screen cultures, looking at youth and intergenerational memory from the critical perspectives of Gender and Queer Studies.

My forthcoming monograph, Queer Film and Streaming TV in Spain: Millennial Screen Cultures, examines queer audio-visual representations of youth and their articulations of intergenerational memory in contemporary Spanish film and streaming television. It critically focuses on queer bodies, identities, and intersectional subjectivities in relation to gender, sexual, racial and corporeal dissidences, drawing on queer theoretical frameworks both within and beyond Spain, and with scholarship relating to audio-visual cultural productions in the Iberian context and transnationally.

My first monograph Queering Lorca’s Duende: Desire, Death, Intermediality (Legenda, 2022) proposed a queer reading of Spanish early twentieth-century author Federico García Lorca’s late poetry, theatre, drawings and film script. 

My wider research interests are contemporary Hispanic cinema and screen culture with a focus on queer filmmaking and LGBTQ+ representation. I also work on Hispanic queer and LGBTQ+ literature, intermediality and word-image relations in Hispanic and world literatures and visual cultures. 

I teach courses on Hispanic cinema, theatre, literature and culture, and translation. My teaching practice provides a link between Spanish literary and audio-visual cultures, queer theory and translation in the Hispanic Studies and World and Comparative Literature and Culture areas, also creating intercultural and transnational awareness, critical thinking, interdisciplinarity and interaction within the academic community and beyond.
