Anna Maria Devis Arbona

Anna Maria Devis Arbona is an Associate Professor in the Department of Language and Literature at the University of Valencia. Her academic work is deeply rooted in the didactics of language and literature, with a strong commitment to educational diversity and inclusion, particularly in LGTBIQ+ contexts.

Her research integrates pedagogical theory and literary analysis, focusing on how teachers develop instructional knowledge and how literacy can be enhanced through cultural and linguistic education. She is actively involved in several research groups that explore critical dimensions of education:

• EDi Education and Diversity LGTBIQ+: Focused on inclusive pedagogies and queer perspectives in education.
• CDC (Pedagogical School Content Knowledge): Investigates the foundational knowledge that enables effective teaching practices.
• ELCIS (Reading Literacy, Literary and Linguistic Education, Culture and Society): Examines the interplay between reading, literature, language, and sociocultural contexts.

Her doctoral research, completed in 1996, explored paratextuality in post-1940 Catalan literature, supervised by Dr. Vicent Salvador Liern. Although no recent publications are listed, her research interests suggest a sustained engagement with literary theory, pedagogy, and sociocultural analysis in education. She has not been noted to have received scientific awards or to supervise any listed students. There is no indication of part-time status or retirement.
