Meagan Cobb Heath is a PhD Candidate in the Spanish program. She earned both an AB in Spanish and a MA in Hispanic Studies from the University of Georgia. Her area of interest centers around dystopic works from Spain, and she intends to examine them through ecocritical, societal, and theoretical lenses. Within the realm of peninsular Spanish dystopic fiction, themes that she is currently exploring include: ecoaldeas as a critical lens and utopic alternative, trans-Atlantic eco-criticism of Peninsular perspectives on sustanability, and the function of literature as both an escape from and a cure for such post-apocalyptic societies. In 2021, she presented “Eco-dystopias: Reading Emilio Bueso’s Al garete through the lens of environmental reality” at the UofSC Comparative Literature Conference: Ecologies, Communities, Imaginaries.
