Dr. Juan-Moreno received a B.A. from the Universitat de les Illes Balears (UIB) in 2008, and Ph.D.s from UIB and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in 2015 and 2016, respectively. She has been at Clark since 2015.
Lola's research focuses on contemporary Spanish poetry and cinema, food, and gender studies, specifically on works by women writers and filmmakers published or released after the year 2000. In her current project, she analyzes alliances between gastronomy, film, and poetry in Peninsular Spanish culture in the 21st century. In this work, she reflects on the symbolic value of food as a vehicle to represent the idiosyncrasies of this culture and the particularities of the individuals that comprise it. A second project examines how the cultural narratives on ageing are depicted in Spanish poetry and film from an interdisciplinary perspective that evaluates the connections between food, sexual desire, and gender.
At Clark University Dr. Juan-Moreno teaches all levels of Spanish language as well as contemporary Hispanic literature, culture, and cinema. She also serves as the Spanish Program Coordinator and as the director and coordinator of the Hispanic Culture and Heritage (HCH) Project, which she created along with undergraduate students in 2016. HCH is a bi-directional exchange between students at Clark University and Worcester Public Schools students and it aims to promote and enhance Hispanic culture in the Worcester community. It is a multigenerational collaborative learning space where participants grow and learn from each other culturally, linguistically, and personally through an exploration of Hispanic culture. Dr. Juan-Moreno is also the founder and co-director of the International Seminar on Literature and Sin, an annual plurilingual and multidisciplinary conference that, since 2011, analyzes the presence of the deadly sins in art and literature. She has both national and international publications and is part of projects such as Gynocine and CinemAGEnder. Her Ph.D. dissertation from UIB was on the Spanish poet Aurora Luque, her dissertation from UMass-Amherst focused on food, film, and poetry.
