Profile

I am currently a PhD student in Hispanic Studies at Queen Mary. I completed my MA in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Peking University (China). My thesis looks at Humour and Laughter in Early Modern Spanish Entremeses. My research is supervised by Dr Elena Carrera and Professor John London, and is funded by a China Scholarship Council Scholarship (CSC).
