Research Interests: I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Media Studies and Fine Arts from the University of Seville, Spain, and a Master’s in Hispanic Studies and Comparative Literature from the University of Geneva. As a Teaching and Research Assistant at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, I am currently pursuing a PhD focused on how European politics are reflected in literature and painting between 1600 and 1900, with a particular emphasis on Great Britain during this interval. Among others, my research explores topics such as the national spirit, the commodification of education, and the fabrication of evidence and truth. Alongside this project, and following my translation of several works from Mary Shelley’s late production, I am now preparing their annotated and critical edition.
