Her expertise in the comparative and sociological study of literature, plus her experience in the development of digital tools for the research in the Humanities, are key to her current project (coordinated by Mascato and subsidized by the Galician Government from 2016-2018): the study of Spanish Silver Age literature and culture across borders during the beginning of the 20th century, focusing on networks of agents and institutions, with a particular interest in women productions.
