Biography
Alodia MartÃn-MartÃnez, Ph.D. completed her undergraduate studies in Zaragoza (Spain). She has two B.A.s, one in art history and another one in design. She holds a M.A. and a Ph.D. in Spanish from Temple University, and a M.A. in Translation from the Universitat Rovira i Virgili, in Tarragona. She is a certified translator by the American Translators Association.
She has published peer-reviewed articles in medieval studies, early modern studies, and contemporary Latin American and Peninsular literature. She is currently working on two different projects: one focuses on analyzing the intellectual history that has produced the different translation paradigms that are currently being theorized in the field. In the second one, she is using a computational approach based on text analysis to examine the linguistic connections between different translations of the same text, as well as between the translation and the source text.
Prior to joining UNLV, she held positions at Centre College, Johns Hopkins University SAIS, and Lenoir-Rhyne University, among others.
