Eugenia Helena Houvenaghel is a professor at Utrecht University, focusing on women's migratory movements from Spain to Latin America during the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. She is the coordinator of the FENIX international interdisciplinary research network, established in 2015. The network aims to facilitate collaboration among researchers and exchange perspectives on the experiences of women exiles and migrants. The FENIX Network emphasizes three key areas: the literary and artistic perspectives of migrant women, the historical exploration of their experiences, and the gender emphasis on the roles women play in displacement and integration processes. The network connects scholars specializing in Literary Studies, History, Art History, and Gender Studies to reshape the narrative of women's exile migration in Spain. It undertakes various research activities, including annual congresses, smaller thematic seminars, and publications of joint thematic works, showcasing the female experience of migration across different epochs. Houvenaghel's work contributes significantly to expanding the understanding of migration dynamics, gender roles, and cultural identities involved in the processes of migration and adaptation.
