Dr Juan J.Jimenez Anca

Having taught at the University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University, I became a lecturer in Spanish Studies and International Business at Aston University in 2010. My research interests lie at the intersection of social theory, political economy, and gender and sexuality studies. I am therefore keen to supervise students in these areas. I very much welcome interdisciplinary projects which do not fit within strict academic divisions, and/or have a transnational character.
