Profile
Blasina Cantizano Márquez has a degree in English (University of Granada, 1994) and a Ph.D. in English Literature (University of Granada, 1999), together with postgraduate courses on language teaching, literature and media studies. Her teaching career started as a lecturer of Spanish language and culture in the U.S. (University of Delaware) and at the Centro de Lenguas Modernas (University of Granada). She became a lecturer of English Literature at the Department of Philology of the University of Almeria (2000), where she got her tenure in 2006.
Her research work began on British travel writers on Spanish subjects, resulting in her doctoral thesis “Estudio del tópico de Carmen en los viajeros británicos del siglo XIX” (1999). Henceforth, she combined that main subject with other topics related to women writers, female images in literature and feminism. She is currently working on different research fields on contemporary subjects: American short stories and writers, children’s literature in English and the relationship between literature and some artistic fields such as music, cinema and painting.
Her research work has provided a variety of publications and contributions to international conferences on literature and/or cultural studies. Her most recent publications and projects are either related to her academic activity or joint projects with other members of this research group.
