Ana Fernández-Blázquez is a PhD student in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Yale University. Her research explores the intersections of law, literature, and cultural memory in modern Spain. Her work focuses on the symbolic dimensions of legal cultures, the narratives of identity formation, confessional literature, and the aesthetic frameworks of conflict, historical memory, and political belonging. Her interests also occasionally extend to digital cultures and disinformation, and she is completing certificates in Digital Humanities, Film and Media Studies, and Second Language Acquisition.

Her work has been supported by the La Caixa Foundation (2023 call) and recognized with awards such as the Ana María Matute Prize (2025), a triannual distinction administered by the Asociación Internacional de Hispanistas and Sigma Delta Pi, as well as the Madrid Academic Excellence Award. In addition to her academic publications, she writes for broader audiences, with a forthcoming book on the ethics of true crime (Editorial Alfabeto, 2026). At Yale, she has contributed to scholarly and creative exchange as Lead Editor of Variantes: The Literary and Fine Arts Magazine of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, and as a member of the Creative Forum, a space for creative experimentation among Ibero-American writers at Yale.
