My interest in literary ecocriticism stems from a personal concern for the defence of nature, as well as a fascination with the power of writing as an instrument of socio-political transformation. By focusing on the study of animal and environmental activism in nineteenth-century women's literature, I understand my academic work as a gesture of recovery and vindication of forgotten voices that provide powerful tools for raising awareness of the challenges posed by the contemporary environmental crisis.

D. in English Studies from the University of Salamanca since 2020, she is Assistant Professor in the Department of English Philology at the University of Extremadura. In addition to being a member of GIECO, she is also part of the Research Group on Languages and Cultures in Modern Europe: Discourse and Identity (CILEM) at the same university. From 2021 to 2023 she was a postdoctoral researcher in the European research project EnviroCitizen: Citizen Science for Environmental Citizenship (Horizon 2020, G.A. No. 872557), where she specialised in the study of nature writing published by Anglophone women ornithologists in the 19th century. Since then, she has continued to research the relationship between literature written by women and the historical origins of environmental activism in fields such as education and science. She has also worked on the role of women in the nineteenth-century spiritualist movement, observing how this cultural current promoted holistic and anti-hierarchical visions of nature. Her publications include "Uncaged Angels: Ecofeminist Literary Ornithology as Citizen Science in the Nineteenth Century"(Atlantis, in press, 2024) and "Victorian Eco-Spiritualism: Environmental Citizenship and the Occult Revival in Nineteenth-Century Women's Writing"(International Journal of English Studies, in press, 2024).

Research interests: Anglophone literatures, environmental humanities, ecocriticism, Victorian studies, gender studies, feminisms.
