Graduate Associate

I'm from Mallorca, a beautiful island in the Mediterranean Sea that belongs to Spain. I graduated in 2020 with my bachelor's degree in Foreign Languages at New Mexico State University. In 2022, I graduated from New Mexico State University with my master's degree in Hispanic Literature. I worked as an adjunct professor of Spanish at the Department of Languages & Linguistics at New Mexico State University 2022-2023 academic year. This is going to be my second year in the PhD program in Hispanic Literature & Cultural Studies at The University of Arizona where I'm currently teaching Spanish 201 for the BLP (Basic Language Program). My research interests are under a Transatlantic view connecting both Baroques (Barroco de Indias & Barroco Español) exploring the violence against the women's body in the Golden Age Theatre & literature and bringing it to the present time. Other topics of interest are pre-feminist & feminist theory, gender studies, utopia, aesthetics, psychoanalysis, testimonio and subaltern studies.

Currently Teaching

SPAN 202 – Fourth Semester Spanish

Continuation of Spanish 101, 102, and 201 or by placement exam. As the second semester of the second year Spanish, this course is designed to provide insight into the literature and culture of the Spanish speaking countries. Themes are developed by content-based cultural activities, which provide awareness in the Hispanic culture, and encourage students to formulate opinions on a variety of contemporary issues through authentic readings, discussions and writing. This course reviews the grammatical concepts in a more sophisticated way and analyses more complex syntactic structures considered within a functional whole such as the subjunctive moods, etc. The teaching approach integrates grammar and culture in a functional use through listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Classroom activities stress communication across the four skills with a strong aural, oral and written component. Audio, video, and computer materials incorporated.
