I have taught on a range of courses related to Spanish language and Latin American culture. This includes Spanish language grammar, conversation, Business Spanish, and translation bilaterally between English and Spanish for language-learning and specialist purposes. I have contributed to and coordinated a variety of modules with focuses on Latin American literature, film and history, as well as some work on Spanish fiction. At postgraduate level, I contribute to a range of taught Masters programmes, delivering more general research skills support, as well as focusing on decolonial feminist theory, feminist activism, and intersectional struggles against marginalisation more broadly.
