Biography

Maria Carbonetti is a lecturer at the Department of French, Hispanic & Italian Studies at the University of British Columbia (UBC), where she has been integral in developing various courses such as Advanced Spanish II, Conversational Spanish I and II, and Advanced Spanish III focusing on Spanish Translation. She created the Spanish Community initiative in 2016, which emphasizes community-based experiential learning and engages students in service-learning projects with organizations working within Spanish-speaking communities in British Columbia and Central South America. Her research interests span foreign language pedagogy, cultural awareness in language learning, as well as the interplay of translation and mediation practices concerning gender, class, and ethnicity. Maria attained her Licenciatura en Letras with a specialization in Linguistics (Sociolinguistics) from Universidad Nacional del Sur in 1988, and completed her Doctorate in Hispanic Studies in 2004, focusing on visual and linguistic constructions of elites in Argentine social and cultural magazines from the period of the coup d'état between 1916 and 1930.
