Profile: Hayley Rabanal joined the Department of Hispanic Studies as lecturer in September 2010.

Research interests: Hayley's research area is broadly twentieth and twenty-first-century Spanish literature and culture, with a particular interest in the transition to democracy and post-transition period. Currently, her research explores how notions of convivencia and cosmopolitanism are negotiated in cultural production in the interrelated contexts of immigration and multiculturalism, discourses of cultural (historical) memory and Spanish ‘Orientalism’.
