Pascale has worked in the Department as Associate University Teacher from 2011-12 and will occupy the same role in 2013-14.

Her research interests lie primarily in the area of banditry in the history, culture and literature of Latin America, with a particular focus on the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. She completed her PhD in 2011 on representations of banditry in Latin America during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century with a Mexican case study. Pascale is currently updating the thesis for publication with the University of Wales Press with the title: Revolutionaries, Rebels and Robbers: The Golden Age of Banditry in Latin America. She is also editing a scholarly volume on masculinities and violence in Latin American culture with colleagues from Lancaster and Liverpool.
