Biography
I completed my BA International in Spanish and French at NUI Galway in 2009, before completing my MA in Spanish there in 2010, and my PhD in 2016. Funded by the Irish Research Council and the Hardiman Scholarship (NUI Galway), I undertook a structured PhD in Latin American Studies with a focus on representations of genders and ethnicities in Chilean historical fiction. From there, I took up a lectureship in Hispanic Studies in Cardiff University between 2016 and 2018. I started in UCC as a Lecturer in Latin American Studies in 2018.
Research Interests
My research interests are broadly related to gendered approaches in Latin American cultural studies, with a focus on Chile. I research feminist cultural activists whose work contributes to the struggles against socio-historical and geopolitical challenges. My monograph, Colonial Legacies and Contemporary Identities in Chile: Revisiting Catalina de los Ríos y Lisperguer (2021), explores traditional and contemporary concerns surrounding gender and ethnicity in Chile through a textual analysis of historical novels depicting seventeenth-century figure, Catalina de los Ríos y Lisperguer. Much of my work has focused on feminist readings of marginalisation in Chilean culture, but more recently my passion for cultural activism and the impetus to explore the learnings acquired through cross-cultural comparisons from decolonial feminist perspectives have motivated a focus on comparing experiences in Ireland and Latin America. I promote the cross-cultural exploration of social justice issues across Ireland and Latin America in my role as researcher on the Critical Epistemologies Across Borders (CEAB) project and as Co-PI on Trans/Actions: Translation as Activism. I am co-convenor of the Violence, Conflict and Gender research cluster, based in the Centre for Advanced Studies in Languages and Cultures.
