Nicola Gilmour

Nicola Gilmour is a Senior Lecturer in Spanish at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. She obtained her doctorate at the University of Auckland in New Zealand in 2001. In 2006 she published a monograph on narrative transvestism: Transvestite Narratives in Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century Hispanic Authors: Using the Voice of the Opposite Gender (Edwin Mellen), in which she studied the work of both Spanish and Latin American authors. Her current research is related to the deployment of images of the historical religious minorities of fifteenth-century Spain in contemporary Spanish literature between 1992 and 2007 however she retains a strong interest in Latin American literature and comparative cultural studies.
