Dr Catherine Barbour

Catherine is Assistant Professor in Spanish Peninsular Studies, Trinity College Dublin, formerly the University of Surrey. Her research interests lie in contemporary Iberian literary and cultural studies, and with a focus on Galician Studies, writing by women, mobilities and translingualism. Her monograph Contemporary Galician Women Writers (Legenda, 2020) is the first analysis of contemporary novels published in Galician and Spanish by women writers with conflicting political and linguistic ideologies. Her current book project explores the intersections of translingualism, mobility and feminism in texts by contemporary women writers publishing in Catalan, Galician and Spanish.
As part of the project, Catherine will explore how women’s (im)mobilities are reflected in contemporary literature and visual culture.
