Biography

I joined Birkbeck as a Lecturer in January 2001, having previously held tenure-track posts at Illinois State University and the University of California, Santa Cruz. I served as an Assistant Dean for Curriculum and Student Experience in the School of Arts from 2017-2020, when I developed a programme of employability and business engagement for the Arts. I am a founding member and part of the Steering Committee of the Centre for Iberian and Latin American Visual Studies (CILAVS) and was its Director from 2014-2020. I was on the Steering Group of the Birkbeck Institute for the Moving Image (BIMI) from 2014-2020, and I am currently a member of the steering committee of the Centre for French, Francophone and Comparative Studies. In the Department of Languages, Cultures and Applied Linguistics I was the Director of the MA/MRes Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American Cultural Studies from 2014-2018, and was the Director of the MA/MRes Comparative Literary and Cultural Studies in Modern Languages from 2018 to 2022.
My research interests are in the intersection of culture with politics and in the relationships between aesthetics, politics and ideologies, more specifically with regards to and framed by questions of modernity, urbanisation, history and neoliberalism. The nature of my research is fundamentally interdisciplinary and it incorporates focuses on literature, philosophy, psychiatry, visual culture and cultural institutions and their discourses. My publications are currently concerned with the following areas of enquiry: culture, politics and subject formation in the creative city; Diasporic Hispanic cultures; history of psychiatry and Republican exile culture as a critique of Spanish modernity and of politics in transitional and democratic Spain.
During academic year 2022-2023, I held a Fellowship at the Institute d’Études Avancées de Nantes (France), having held a Visiting Professorship (Professeur Invitée Recherche) at the Université Paris Nanterre in 2021. In 2019 I was a Consultant for Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid in the remodelling of their permanent collection, regarding their holdings on the art and culture of Spanish republican exile. Also in 2019 I was chosen as a Member of the Spanish Comité Científico Internacional of the Comisión Interministerial para la Conmemoración del 80 aniversario del exilio republicano. I am a founding member and the president of the Asociación de Estudios Manuel Vázquez Montalbán.
From 2017-2024 I served as a Member of the Arts and Humanities Research Council, AHRC’s Academic Peer Review College. I am a permanent member in the Editorial Collective of the Journal of Spanish Cultural Studies and of MVM: Cuadernos de Estudios Manuel Vázquez Montalbán and member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Catalan Studies. I serve on the advisory board of more than twenty international refereed journals in the areas of Contemporary Spanish Cultures, Cultural Studies and Urban Studies. I am a peer reviewer for several academic publishers, including Boydell and Brewer, Liverpool University Press, University of Toronto Press, Berghahn Books, Palgrave Macmillan, University of North Carolina Press and Vanderbilt University Press.

  Title of thesis:
  A Study of the Concept and Genealogy of Home Ownership within Spain from 1950 to 2008 as Represented within Specific Cultural Artefacts
  
  Description:
  Private home ownership is so central to the Spanish populace that its influence can be seen within Spanish cultural products. This is reciprocal for, in turn, the cultural products and their view on the home impact the Spanish populace. This thesis therefore examines cultural artefacts, alongside academic theories on space and the home, as a tool in order to attempt to explain the rise and continuation of the ideology of home ownership within Spain. It will use cultural artefacts to show that historic, economic and political events within Spain from the 1950s onwards have impacted the concept of home ownership.
  The promotion of home ownership within Spain can be traced back to 1947 when Franco’s government liberalized residency laws resulting in a mass rural exodus to the cities in search of employment. Even after Franco’s death and the transition to democracy, the focus on the construction industry and, as a consequence the need for greater home ownership, persisted. On 1 January 1986 Spain joined the European Economic Community which resulted in significant EU subsidies leading to the huge construction boom of the 1980s and early 1990s. Consequently, Spain became the country in Europe with the greatest amount of people owning their own home; 87% in 2007 (López, 2011, p. 3).
  This thesis takes a different, and hence unique, approach to other scholars who have used cultural artefacts to illustrate the link between space and culture within Spain, in working more specifically with the idea of home ownership. Other theorists, for example Nathan Richardson and Ann Davies also used cultural artefacts to understand Spain’s complex relationship with space, but only for the period up until the 1990s and did not specifically look at home ownership. Therefore, the exploration of home ownership within Spain as evidenced in cultural artefacts appears not to have been attempted before.
  By expanding the period of review from the 1950s to 2008 and by concentrating on the specific concept of home ownership, this thesis encompasses events such as the Franco regime, including the end of the disastrous autarkic period and the later periods of desarrollismo and apertura, including the adoption of a capitalistic stance that was to characterize the latter half of Francoism and later Spanish governments, the transition to democracy, membership of the European Union, the construction booms of both the 1960s and late 1980s/early 1990s and the events that led into the long recession which started in 2008 and lasted until 2015, from which Spain is now recovering.. All of these events had an impact on the use of space and hence the concept of home ownership within Spain. We should therefore be able to see this impact when we review the cultural artefacts written at the time in question. In addition, by reviewing the chosen artefacts we should hopefully obtain a greater understanding as to how, why and to what extent the dominant discourse affected Spain’s populace who appeared to embrace the ideology behind private home ownership. As such, this unique approach could be fundamental in understanding Spanish society’s relationship to their homes and their hegemonic desire for ownership.
