Research interests
Lucía's research background lies on translation and language teaching, focusing on the principles on how translation may be used as a tool in the foreign language classroom and also how it may be developed as a skill in the benefit of FL learners, including accessibility and audiovisual translation in language teaching and learning. Her interdisciplinary research is carried out through a framework of Translation Studies, Applied Linguistics and Cognitive Studies.Her current research includes also the nexus between translation and memory studies, focusing particularly on cultural artefacts during the Spanish Civil War, Franco's dictatorship and afterwards within literary translation.
