Geraldine Lublin

Geraldine Lublin is an Associate Professor at Swansea University’s Department of Literature, Media, and Language. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, she has lived in Wales since 2002. It was at Cardiff University’s School of Welsh that she completed her PhD, which focused on the special standing of the Welsh community in Chubut in relation to the region and the rest of Argentina. This led her to develop an interest in the wider dynamics of the region, including nation-building in Argentina, indigenous populations and settler colonial theory. She is the author of Memoir and Identity in Welsh Patagonia: Voices from a settler community in Argentina (University of Wales Press, 2017), which critically explores autobiographical materials written by Welsh descendants towards the end of the twentieth century. More recently, she has been inspired by Pedagogy of Degrowth approaches to undertake projects which contribute to highlight how the climate crisis, global inequalities and the dominant growth-oriented economic culture are closely interrelated.
