Summary

I first came to the University of Hull as an undergraduate Erasmus exchange student, an experience which I found immensely rewarding, and I now find myself as the department’s contact for exchange programmes. I would advise anyone to take advantage of such schemes. After I graduated at my home university in Spain, I then came back to Hull as a postgraduate student and completed an MA in Philosophy of Mind and a PhD supervised by Professor Kathleen Lennon. I have also taught philosophy at the Universities of Keele and Leeds.

I teach the following modules:

(400268) The Problems of Philosophy

(500409) Contemporary Epistemology

(500413) Mind, brain and Behavior

(500404) Theorising Gender

(600602) Gender, Science and Knowledge

(600599) Dissertations

Research interests

My main areas of research are Gender Theory, Intersectionality, Feminism and the Philosophy of Education.
