Learning Materials Developed
From 2000 to the present, I have been responsible for the design of the Master/Doctorate
programme in Integral Tourism Solutions, Intercultural Studies and Sustainable Development.
This course was designed in advance of the CEHEF (Common European Higher Education
Framework) to allow postgraduate students to move more rapidly through Doctorate Studies
and, thus, produce their PhD dissertations and improve the local and international tourism
development.
Since becoming the Director of the Maestría de Desarrollo Integral de Destinos Turísticos,
which coincided with a Spanish International Cooperation for Development Award (Ibarra,
2
Ecuador), I re-designed the blended learning Master/Doctorate course in Integral
Development of Tourist Destinations (60% online) for the 35 postgraduate students of the
first intake. The materials are currently being adapted, linguistically and thematically, to the
demands of the African market in order to train trainers in responsible tourism development.
I was also responsible for steering the Master’s Course through the quality control proceedings
carried out by the Spanish delegation of ACECAU, which the course passed in July 2009.
In my position as Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Translation and Interpreting at the
University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, responsible for the coordination of Simultaneous
Conference Interpreting, I have been involved on the Committee for Quality Control of the
degree course (passed) and the validation of the new degree and Master programmes in our
Faculty.
I have also been responsible for designing the programme materials of Image-building,
Identity and Intangible Heritage on our tourism Doctorate and Master courses, and have
produced the course materials in Intangible Heritage Interpretation and Innovative Tourism
Products for the Master’s programme in Tourism and Coastal management, and the new
Master’s programme in Tangible and Intangible Cultural Heritage, both at the University of
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
At present, I am preparing the materials for the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
Library platform, Jable, in its section, Voces y Ecos. The materials relate to the work carried out
during and after the EU project, Mediterranean Voices, an oral history analysis of the identity and
intangible heritage of the city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, for which I was responsible as
main researcher and coordinator. The materials (photos, interviews, related documents and
news articles, music and literature) are being uploaded in both Spanish and English. As part of
the Med Voices project, I was responsible for the exhibition: Voces y Ecos: Recuerdos del
Mediterráneo en el Atlántico together with the two 300 page catalogues which accompanied the
exhibition (Spanish and English versions), and the catalogue photo selection for a later
exhibition called Family Album.

Book Reviews
Review of the book ‘Gay Tourism’ by Kevin Markwell and Gordon Waitt for ATLAS
Other Professional Experience
Anchorwoman on local radio programme relating to identity and tourism.
Practising professional simultaneous conference interpreter, now working for UNIFEM
Professional conference organiser
Other skills and Proficiencies
I speak five languages, studying a sixth (English, Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese and now
Chinese) which is where my interest for intercultural communication springs from, and
questions relating to cultural embedding, inclusion and identity. Since I am a professional
simultaneous conference interpreter, the questions of working memory, perception, cognition
and memory are essential and occupy much of my research, linking in at an interface with
projection of perceived identity and intangible heritage. Humour, inclusion and exclusion are
also vital areas of research interest.
