Profile
Carmen García Navarro studied English at the University of Granada where she completed her Ph.D. (2001) exploring the role of ageing female characters in Doris Lessing's narratives of the 1980s and 1990s. This prompted her to publish La vejez como materia literaria en la narrativa de Doris Lessing. She also completed a M.A. in Studies on Sexual Difference at Centro Duoda, Barcelona. Prior to her doctorate studies, she trained and worked as a secondary school teacher. Dr. García Navarro was a temporary Lecturer at the University of Seville and joined the University of Almería in 2015. She teaches undergraduate English courses and both in the Master's Programme in English Studies and in the Master's Programme in Secondary Education Teaching.
Her interests include gender studies, identity formations in multicultural contexts, ageing studies, ecocriticism, migrations and education in women's literatures, and has published on Doris Lessing, Joy Harjo, Pat Mora, Carol Ann Duffy, among others. She served as General Editor of the peer-reviewed scholarly journal Odisea. Revista de Studios Ingleses for volumes 17 (2016) and 18 (2017). Dr. García Navarro is a member of HUM-859 research group.
