Carla Trincado Rodriguez

Carla Trincado Rodriguez is a Predoctoral Researcher at the University of Santiago de Compostela, affiliated with the research group Aevum. Middle Ages and Medievalisms. She teaches core courses in the History degree program, including History of the full and late Middle Ages (2nd year, mandatory) and Mentality, Identities and Gender in the Middle Ages (4th year, elective), across academic years 2022/2023–2025/2026.

Her research specializes in social and cultural medieval history, with emphasis on gender dynamics, identity construction, and collective mentalities in premodern societies. She critically examines how religious, social, and political frameworks shaped individual and group identities during the Middle Ages, while also exploring medievalisms—the reinterpretation of medieval culture in modern contexts—through interdisciplinary lenses.

Funded by a Ministry Research grant, she contributes to the Aevum group's mission of advancing medieval scholarship through collaborative projects and academic dissemination. Her work bridges historical analysis with contemporary theoretical frameworks in identity studies.
