Torregrosa Parets, Neus

Graduate Associate

I am from Mallorca, a stunning island located in the Mediterranean Sea, which is part of Spain. I received my B.A. in Foreign Languages (2020) and M.A. in Hispanic Literature (2022) at New Mexico State University, where I also played college tennis. My research interests focus on the violence against the female body within transatlantic discourses, especially from the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries. I am particularly interested in the intersections of colonial encounters, gender, and representation, and in how the female body is (re)imagined, regulated, and politicized in early modern textual and visual archives. Additional areas of interest include pre-feminist and feminist theory, utopia and non-utopia, visual studies, psychoanalysis, biopolitics, and subaltern studies. Outside of academia, I am passionate about sports and the outdoors. I love playing tennis, running, cycling, swimming, hiking—simply put, anything that allows me to be active and outside. I also enjoy visiting art and natural history museums, spending time in libraries, and being with my family and friends.

Currently Teaching

SPAN 201 – Third Semester Spanish

Continuation of Spanish 101 and 102 or by placement exam. As the first semester of the second year Spanish, this course focuses on a short review of the materials studied in the first year courses. It expands on those points with a more in-depth study of the Spanish language and culture. Content-based approach integrates grammar and culture in a functional use through listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The course further develops grammatical accuracy in the use of the simple tenses: present, future, and conditional and of particular importance is the perfection of the use of the past tense: preterit and imperfect. Compound tenses such as the present perfect, past perfect are also developed in this course. Students gain the ability during this course to deal with more complex and abstract situations in the foreign language. Language use encouraged by way of communicative activities rather than a sequence of linguistics units. Audio, video, and computer materials incorporated.
