José Rama Domínguez
PHD CANDIDATE 
Hometown: A Coruña, Galicia, Spain
Education: BA Spanish Language and Literature, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela
Academic Interests
José researches the Spanish Catholic novel under the supervision of Rebekah Lamb-Varela. His thesis, “The Absent Category: Reclaiming the Spanish Catholic Novel”, stems from discovering the genre while studying abroad and wondering why he had never encountered the term, and whether it might reveal something about the literature of Spain and other Catholic-majority countries. His approach tends towards the transnational (Iberian, Mediterranean, European, Global) and the longue durée. His work aims ultimately at public scholarship: his thesis seeks to make Spain’s Catholic novel newly visible and available to Spanish readers today.
Other Interests
Alongside his research, José sings in several choirs and is involved with Catholic Chaplaincy. In his free time, he likes to think utopically about the university and its reform.
