Claudia Fernández Estrada

Claudia Fernández Estrada holds a BA in English Language and Literature from the University of Santiago de Compostela (2023), where she also completed an MA in Advanced English Studies and Its Applications (2024). During the 2023/24 academic year, she was awarded a Scholarship of Collaboration in University Departments, granted by the Ministry of Education, to work with the Department of English and German Philology of the USC.
Currently, Fernández Estrada is working on her doctoral thesis under the supervision of Professors Cristina Mourón Figueroa and Manuela Palacios González. Her thesis, provisionally titled “Greening Camelot: Ecocritical Insights into Medieval French and English Arthurian Literature”, aims to examine, through an ecocritical reading of a selection of medieval Arthurian texts, how the relationships between human and more-than-human elements are constructed. The thesis also explores how linguistic and cultural differences may influence diverse perceptions of nature. Fernández Estrada’s main lines of research include Arthurian studies, medieval studies, and ecocriticism.
