We are delighted to welcome Laura Hesral Sánchez to the DHSS!
Laura has an interdisciplinary background in environmental humanities, literary studies, linguistics, and computational text analysis. She completed her teacher training in English and Spanish, focusing on teaching ecoliteracy through ecocritical literature, and a B.A. in Language and Communication in 2026, with a thesis on the environmental discourse of the German Green Party during election campaigns.
Her academic experience includes studies at University College Roosevelt and the Universidad de Salamanca, where she explored human geography, ecology, pragmalinguistics, and environmental education. She also volunteers with the Klimabuchmesse Leipzig.
Laura joins the T&L Lab as a doctoral researcher, bringing her interests in environmental discourse, climate fiction, and computational text analysis to the team.
Welcome to the team, Laura!
