Rate My Professor Beatriz Celaya

Dr. Celaya has produced a substantial body of scholarly work that advances understanding of gender, sexuality, race, and cultural dynamics in Hispanic contexts. Her monograph, La mujer deseante: sexualidad femenina en la novela y cultura española (1900-1936) (Juan de la Cuesta Hispanic Monographs, 2006), examines representations of female sexuality in early twentieth-century Spanish novels and culture. Prominent peer-reviewed publications include “Fricciones culturales en la novela afro-hispana Ekomo, de María Nsue Angüe” (Afro-Hispanic Review 30.2, 2011), “Llamada a una revolución organizada: Belén Gopegui, Acceso no autorizado y el 15-M” (Hipertexto 20, 2014), “Atlántico negro y africano: travesías de Inongo-Vi-Makomè, Maximiliano Nkogo Esono y César A. Mba Abogo” (Transmodernity 7.2, 2017), “Pánicos racistas: reflexiones sobre la inmigración en Cataluña y España a partir de un texto de Najat El Hachmi” (Modern Language Notes 126.2, 2011), “Juan Latino: Racial, Gender, Religious, and Social State Interdictions in Early Modern Spain” (eHumanista 52, 2022), and “El discurso médico del franquismo: persistencia de un modelo sexualizado de mujer” in Mujeres bajo sospecha (2012). She has also published in journals such as Dieciocho, Romance Quarterly, Neophilologus, and Arenal, along with contributions to electronic outlets like Tribuna Feminista and Pikara magazine on topics including literature during Spain's economic crisis and sexuality in sub-Saharan Africa. Through these works, Dr. Celaya significantly influences discussions on peripheral cultural productions and marginalized voices in Spanish and Afro-Hispanic literatures.
