Dr. Rosa Vidal Doval is an Associate Professor of Medieval Iberian Literature at the University of Oxford’s Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages, affiliated with Magdalen College. Her research focuses on late medieval and Renaissance Iberian culture, particularly religious conversion processes and textual mechanisms of religious intolerance targeting Jewish converts (conversos). She is currently leading a Leverhulme Trust-funded project on limpieza de sangre (blood purity) as a racialized exclusion system and co-editing Alonso de Espina’s Fortalitium fidei.
Teaching responsibilities include Spanish Prelims courses for Magdalen and St Edmund Hall students, and Final Honours School modules on medieval literature and culture. She supervises graduate students in medieval/Renaissance Iberian studies. Recent publications address converso identity, Visigothic legal impacts on discrimination, and Pauline theology in Spanish polemics.
Her work bridges textual analysis with social history, examining how medieval texts shaped religious and ethnic hierarchies. Key themes include religious polemics, racialized genealogy, and the interplay between spirituality and power structures.
