Álvaro González Montero
I am a PhD candidate at the department of Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American Studies, funded by UKRI through WRoCAH. The provisional title of my thesis is: Illness and queerness in Spain: Spanish life-writing from 1936 to the present, under the supervision of Prof. Richard Cleminson and Prof. Duncan Wheeler.

About my Research...
My research interests range from literature in general to cultural studies and critical theory, but they all share a preoccupation for the articulations of marginalised identities through writing.
Recently, in addition to my thesis, I have been working on a social history project about local LGBTQ+ resistance, tourism and protests in the Costa del Sol in the 1960s with Richard Cleminson.
We have obtained LCS funding to research archives of Vagos y Maleantes and academic work on this topic is in progress, with an academic publication to appear in the near future, and a public dissemination one already published in CTXT.

I specialise in Spanish and Catalan literature in the 20th century. I also work on the intersection between illness, history and literature. Below you can find a bit more about me and my lines of research. Please contact me if you are interested in collaborating with me. I am always excited to hear about new projects!
