About
I received my B.A. in Hispanic Philology and German Studies from the University of Santiago de Compostela, and my M.A. in Hispanic Literatures and Cultures at the University of Kansas. As a Ph.D. student at the University of Michigan, my research interest revolves around the emergence and development of Galicianism, or Galicia’s own nationalism, during the second half of the nineteenth century and the first third of the twentieth century. More specifically, my work’s intent is to re-examine and rescue —through the works of the most salient Galician intellectuals such as Vicente Risco, Alexandre Bóveda, Castelao, etc— the national discourse that could provide us with some clues on how to overcome Spain’s current identity crisis. I am also interested in Philosophy, Political Theory, Cultural Studies, Comparative Literature, Architecture and Urban Planning, The Principle of Linguistic Relativism, and the Russian Language and Literature.
