María Luisa Pascual Garrido graduated from the University of Granada (MA in English Philology (1991), BA in Translation Studies (1995)) and got her PhD (2001) at the University of Cordoba. She has specialized in the field of Modern and Contemporary Literature in English and also in the area of Translation Studies with a special focus on Literary Translation and Reception studies. Her teaching experience covers a variety of subjects, ranging from English drama, popular literature, experimental and avant-garde literature in English to the history and culture of English-speaking countries as well as literary translation and English as a Foreign Language. She is currently teaching courses in the English Studies Degree, the Master's Degree on Advanced English Studies and the Master's Degree on Teacher Training at the UCO.

She has presented papers at national and international conferences and has been at the University of Kent in Canterbury (2002), Dublin City University (2003), Smith College, Massachusetts, (2011) and King's College London (2015) as a visiting scholar. She has published articles and book chapters on the works of Samuel Johnson and William Shakespeare and the reception of Cervantes in the English-speaking culture. She has articles on the work of Sylvia Plath in several journals and various critical editions with Spanish translations of works by Mary Astell (Maia, 2013), Russell Hoban (Cátedra, 2011) Samuel Johnson (Berenice, 2007). Her other research interests include women's writing and feminist thought, gothic and terror literature, and the utopian and dystopian literary traditions in English. Following certain communitarian theories and theories of the secret applied to the study of literature, she has participated in the I+D research project “Secrecy and community in contemporary narrative in English” (2016-19, code: FFI2016-75589-P) with several publications on Jhumpa Lahiri’s narrative. At present she is doing research on some novels by Salman Rushdie and Kazuo Ishiguro within the framework of a new project entitled “Democracy, Secrecy and Dissidence in Contemporary Literature in English” (2020-2023)
