Biography

Yvonne Gavela-Ramos, Ph.D., joined Princeton University in 2022. Her research focuses on Iberian Studies, specializing in Spanish films, literatures, and cultures. Her work often analyzes film adaptations and the collective memory depicted in Spanish fiction films. She authored the monograph 'El espejo de Perseo: Cultura visual en la narrativa y el cine español,' which explores 1990s Spanish fiction films and media culture. Gavela-Ramos proposes that visual culture is a crucial mediating tool for interpreting and constructing fictional worlds in contemporary Spain, using a postmodern stance to highlight its role as a mythological trope. She has published in several peer-reviewed journals including 'Revista de Estudios Hispánicos,' 'Bulletin Hispanic Studies,' 'Hispanic Cinemas,' and 'Crítica Hispánica.' Her academic interests include Digital Storytelling, multiliteracies, and creative writing in the Spanish as a Second Language classroom, as well as teacher education. Before joining Princeton, she held positions at the University of Miami and visited several other academic institutions, where she contributed to graduate seminars and discussions in creative pedagogies.
