Elizabeth Warren

Elizabeth Warren serves as an Assistant Professor (Lecturer) in the Department of World Languages and Cultures at the University of Utah since July 2023, following a prior appointment as Visiting Assistant Professor in the same department from 2019 to 2020.

Her educational background includes a PhD in Hispanic Languages and Literatures from the University of California, Los Angeles (2018).

Warren's research centers on Spanish and Portuguese Literature, Cinema Studies, and Visual Culture, with particular emphasis on political representation in Iberian cinema and the interplay between filmic narratives and historical memory. Her work critically examines how visual media constructs national identity and challenges official historical accounts.

Her recent publication analyzing Luis García Berlanga's Patrimonio nacional exemplifies her methodological approach, revealing how cinematic parody deconstructs monarchical symbolism and interrogates Spain's political transition. This reflects broader scholarly trends examining film as a site of ideological contestation in post-authoritarian societies.

Teaching activities demonstrate significant engagement with language pedagogy and textual analysis, including courses in Conversation & Reading, Intro Textual Analysis, Graduate Language Study, and Inter Grammar & Comp across multiple semesters from 2023-2024.
