Biography
After studying philosophy and theology in Valladolid, Spain, my interest in Spanish continued at the University of Strathclyde where I studied Spanish and Latin American Studies and went on to do a doctorate on the works of Spanish author, Castillo-Puche.
Research involves the Catholic Church in Spain with its accompanying themes of social justice, identity and political involvement.
My teaching interests include Spanish language, Dissertation and Spanish-Latin American Relations.
