Gema Chocano is a permanent lecturer in the Department of English Philology at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM). After finishing a BA in Classical Philology and a BA in English Philology, she earned in 2004 a PhD in English Linguistics which was recognized with the UAM Distinguished Dissertation Award.
