Camila C. Santiago

Camila C. Santiago completed her B.A. in Portuguese at the Universidade Estadual de Montes Claros (Brazil) in 2009. She is currently an M.A. candidate in Lusophone Literatures and Cultures at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, where she also works as a Teaching Associate in Portuguese. Her master’s thesis studies the representation of religious women in the work of Portuguese author José Saramago from a feminist point of view. In 2017 Camila presented her paper “Female Representations in José Saramago: A Space for Oppositional Discourses from the Canonical Gospels to the Gospel According to Jesus Christ,” which she later elaborated into a book chapter published in the volume Saramago’s Philosophical Heritage (Palgrave-Macmillan, 2018).
