Jacqueline Sheean serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of World Languages and Cultures at the University of Utah since July 2020, specializing in the intersection of media theory and Spanish cultural studies with emphases on memory, authoritarianism, exile, and national identity in 20th-21st century Spain.
She earned her PhD in Comparative Studies in Literature and Culture from the University of Southern California in 2020, with fluency in Spanish (Castilian) and French supporting her research on Iberian cultural production.
Her research program critically examines how film and digital media engage with historical memory and political transitions in Spain, particularly through urban spaces and cinematic representations of dystopia. She investigates material culture during economic crises and authoritarian legacies, with recurring focus on Madrid's evolving landscapes as sites of cultural negotiation.
Analysis of her 10 recent publications (2018-2024) reveals consistent scholarly engagement with Spain's democratic transition through cinematic and digital lenses. Key trends include the materiality of memory in post-Franco Spain, technopolitical dimensions of protest, and critical pedagogy using digital media in language instruction.
