Regina M. Ponciano

Regina M. Ponciano holds a BA in Modern Languages and Literatures (2014), a BA in English Language in Literature (2015), and an MA in Advanced English Studies (2016), all three obtained at the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain). After her master’s degree, Regina won a position as Teaching Assistant of Spanish as a Foreign Language at the National University of Ireland Galway (2016-2017). Regina is currently working on her doctoral dissertation under the supervision of Dr. Jorge Sacido-Romero and Dr. Laura Lojo-Rodríguez (USC) with the financial support of the Autonomous Government of Galicia. Her research asks how Oscar Wilde’s short stories construct a narrative and ethical third space in which the reader is invited to reassess received ideas about masculinities. In this framework, Regina has carried out an initial research stay at the ‘Space, Place, and Identity’ research group at NUI Galway (Ireland). More recently, she carried out another three-month research stay at Lancaster University (UK) under the supervision of Dr. Amit Thakkar and Dr. Brian Baker. Additionally, Regina obtained one of the annual awards granted to junior investigators by AEDEAN, the Spanish Association for Anglo-American Studies. As a result, she consulted the Conan Doyle collections at the British Library (London, UK) and the Portsmouth Library (Portsmouth, UK) to work on a paper on the dichotomy between Conan Doyle’s private and public discourse, delivered at the II International Conference Discourse & Identity (June 2017). Regina’s research interests comprise late Victorian literature and culture, the short story and short criticism, masculinities, spatiality studies, and the connection between literature and ideology.
