Almudena Jiménez Virosta

Almudena Jiménez Virosta holds a Bachelor’s degree in Audiovisual Communications with a Fine Arts complement from the University of Seville and a Master’s in Hispanic Studies and Comparative Literature from the University of Geneva. She is currently pursuing a PhD at the University of Fribourg, where she works as a Teaching and Research Assistant. Her doctoral project builds on Golden Age Spain and its transnational reception and explores the intersections between politics, literature and painting across Europe between 1600 and 1900. Along with her academic background, these subjects inform her undergraduate teaching in academic writing in Spanish, Literary Theory and Comparative Literature. In the past, Almudena translated Mary Shelley’s later writings into Spanish, which she continues to study alongside works by other British authors, such as Coleridge and Ruskin. She has also presented at international conferences on topics ranging from the Spanish Baroque to European Romanticism, gothic literature and cinema.
