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 202 – Fourth Semester Spanish

Continuation of Spanish 101, 102, and 201 or by placement exam. As the second semester of the second year Spanish, this course is designed to provide insight into the literature and culture of the Spanish speaking countries. Themes are developed by content-based cultural activities, which provide awareness in the Hispanic culture, and encourage students to formulate opinions on a variety of contemporary issues through authentic readings, discussions and writing. This course reviews the grammatical concepts in a more sophisticated way and analyses more complex syntactic structures considered within a functional whole such as the subjunctive moods, etc. The teaching approach integrates grammar and culture in a functional use through listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Classroom activities stress communication across the four skills with a strong aural, oral and written component. Audio, video, and computer materials incorporated.
