Ada Sánchez

Ada Sánchez has been passionate about literature from a very young age. This led her to study Hispanic Philology at the University of Barcelona, which confirmed her vocation and allowed her to begin exploring research lines centered on 21st-century Spanish literature. After graduating, she was able to develop her hypotheses in greater depth through a Master’s degree at the University of Salamanca, where she specialized in Spanish and Latin American Literature, Literary Theory, and Comparative Literature. Her analyses mainly address issues related to feminism and gender studies, violence, and the concepts of “memory” and “history.” She has also consistently focused on literary language and its scope and significance within the literary work as a social object. Although the Master’s in Secondary and Upper Secondary Education (UOC) revealed another of her vocations—teaching—she has decided, for now, to continue along the path of research. Currently, at the Laboratory for Global Literary Studies (GlobaLS), she analyzes the circulation flows of so-called “regional literatures,” with particular attention to the Catalan and Canarian cases.
