cinema, culture & society

Lecturer at the English Studies Department of the University of Zaragoza, where I teach Film Analysis and English to undergraduate students. My primary areas of interest include film, television and cultural studies. More specifically, my current research focuses on independent cinema and romantic comedy. I am a member of the research group "Film, culture and society" and the project “Film and crisis: social change and representation in the cinema of the new century”.
