Noemi Basanta (Meira, 1989) holds a BA in Galician Philology (2012) and Portuguese Philology (2013) from the University of Santiago de Compostela and was awarded the Graduation Prize of the Autonomous Community of Galicia. She had her first contact with gender studies after obtaining her BA with the thesis Lingua e xénero na conversación. She completed the university master’s degree in Secondary Education and Baccalaureate, Vocational Training and Language Teaching (2013), where she continued to explore the intersections between language and gender, also applying them to the field of didactics. During her pre-doctoral stage, she worked with Dr Pia Pichler at the University of London (2015). In 2019, she obtained her PhD in linguistics, under the direction of Professor Xosé Luís Regueira, with the thesis titled As formas cambiaron porque o mundo cambiou: construccion discursiva e interseccional de identidades de xénero e sexualidade en conversas sobre ligar.

For several years, she was a staff member of the Instituto da Lingua Galega, where she participated in the projects CORILGA, Diccionario de Pronunciación de la Lengua Gallega, and Cambio lingüístico en el Gallego actual. At present, she is an external collaborator of this institution and a teacher of Galician language and literature in secondary education.

Her areas of interest are oral variation, discourse analysis and interactive sociolinguistics applied to identity construction studies.
