Alberto Lopez Martin specializes in 20th and 21st century Spanish cultural production, with a focus on contemporary poetry, comic, and graphic novels.
An economist by training, his research explores representations of ecosocial crises through the theoretical frameworks of ecocriticism and affect and emotion studies. His scholarly interests also include Spanish for specific purposes and ecopedagogy. His first book examines evolving notions of poetic commitment in the Spanish literary scene in the aftermath of the 2008 Great Recession.
