Teaching

I have taught undergraduate courses on Spanish and Latin American history, with a focus on women's history and the history of political violence and revolution, and post-graduate courses in gender studies and feminist theory, cultural memory and oral history and transnational studies.

I currently teach undergraduate courses on Latin American Revolutions and Twentieth-Century Cuba, and post-graduate courses on Historical Research and Cultural Memory.

Research

My research interests are clustered in four areas: 1) gender history, the history of sexuality and feminism; 2) oral history and cultural memory; 3) political violence and conflict, revolution and political activism; and 4) Spanish and Latin American history and Hispanic studies.

I have examined and supervised research students in Spanish, Basque and Latin American studies, memory studies, and feminist and cultural theory. I would be happy to supervise research students in any of these or related areas.

I am Director of the Roehampton Centre for Research in Sex, Gender and Sexuality (SeGS).
