Laura Monrós Gaspar
(MA, PhD) University Lecturer in English.
In 2004 I became member of GRATUV (Grup de Recerca i Acció Teatral de la
Universitat de València) directed by Prof. Carmen Morenilla Talens,
where I am now a research fellow. In 2007 I was research associate at
the Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama (APGRD) at the
University of Oxford under the supervision of Dr. Fiona Macintosh.
At present I am Honorary Research Associate at the APGRD.
In 2008-2010 I was university lecturer in English at the Universidad de
Alicante.
Research interests:
- The reception of classical mythology in nineteenth- and twentieth-century literature in Britain and in Postcolonial contexts.
- Victorian burlesque theatre, with particular interests in cultural politics, in performance practices, and in gender.
- The editing of Victorian burlesque (See an excerpt from Agamemnon
and Cassandra; or the Prophet and Loss of Troy, published at Levante
Editori, 2011 ISBN: 978-88-7949-575-2).
- Using corpus-based analysis to study nineteenth-century literature.
- Cross-cultural relations in the translation of Greek and Roman Drama into English and Spanish.
- English Literature and Language Teaching Research: in 2011 I
became member of IULMA (Instituto Universitario de Lenguas Modernas
Aplicadas) at the Universitat de València, and ANGLOTIC, a teaching
project focused on the creation of discipline-specific teaching
materials and learning objects that take into account not only the need
for students to learn/acquire content but also competences (here is my
Anglotic webpage).
