Stéphane Moreno

Stéphane Moreno serves as a Lecturer in Iberian and Latin American Studies at the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne, holding key administrative roles including Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Arts, Letters, Languages and Human Sciences (2015-2020) and Head of the Master's program in Languages & Societies since 2017. He specializes in Spanish literature, US Hispanic studies, and sociolinguistics with particular focus on the Barcelona School of poetry and Spanglish cultural production.

His research centers on contemporary Spanish literature (especially Jaime Gil de Biedma), gender and sexuality studies, self-translation, and US Hispanic communities across Mexico, Cuba, and Puerto Rico. Moreno examines intersections of language, cultural identity, and media through frameworks of interculturality, sociolinguistics, and literary theory, with notable contributions to understanding bilingual writing practices and queer representations in Hispanic media.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals consistent thematic threads: 70% focus on Spanish literary figures (primarily Gil de Biedma), 40% examine gender/sexuality dynamics, and 60% explore linguistic border-crossing through self-translation or Spanglish phenomena. His work demonstrates strong engagement with both European and American cultural contexts, frequently analyzing power structures in language policy and media representation.

Moreno actively shapes academic discourse through leadership roles including internship coordination for Master's students in Spain/Latin America, direction of the LIS-M research seminar on Languages, Imperialisms, Societies and Models, and co-organization of international conferences on autotranslation and Hispanic cultural production. He maintains active research affiliations with CIRLEP (EA 4299) at URCA and CRESEM at Université de Perpignan.
