Profile

I have studied for a Bachelor's Degree in English Studies with a specialization in English Literature, and a Masters' Degree in Literature at Complutense University of Madrid, Spain. I am currently an English Literature PhD student at Lancaster University, United Kingdom.

My thesis: "'I Celebrate Myself and Sing Myself': An Insight into Bob Dylan's Chameleonic-like Masculiity. Writings and Songs 1956 - 1970" is a critical study of singer, songwriter Bob Dylan that develops an innovative argument on the evolution of his professional career -his lyrics, music, and performances onstage- just like the alternative models of masculinity that challenged the hegemonic ideals of 'the breadwinner' and 'the soldier'.
