Introduction
Irene Domingo earned her BA in Hispanic Philology from the Universidad de Zaragoza (Spain) and her PhD in Romance Languages and Literatures from Washington University in St Louis. She started working at the University of St. Thomas in 2016. For over a decade, she has taught all levels of Spanish language, as well as courses on Hispanic literatures, cultures, and history.
Dr. Domingo conducts research on the cultural production of late-Francoist and post-Francoist Spain, which she has studied through the lenses of censorship, official and counter-official discourses, memory, class, migration and exile, and across genres (e.g. film, music, poetry). She has published consistently in high quality peer-reviewed journals on the field of Hispanic Studies, and regularly organizes panels and seminars, and presents papers at the premier conferences in her discipline.
She has recently published an edited volume that examines representations of friendship in contemporary Spanish film: Tiempo de amistad. Representaciones de su práctica en el cine español contemporáneo (2000-2022) with Vernon Press.
