Belén Martín Lucas teaches in the fields of Postcolonial, Diasporic and Gender Studies at the Universidade de Vigo (Spain), where she coordinates the “Research Feminar Feminisms and Resistance: Theory and Practice”. Her research focuses on the politics of resistance in contemporary postcolonial feminist fiction, looking at the diverse strategies employed in literary works, such as tropes and genres.
