Maria Pujol-Valls serves as an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Education Sciences at the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, where her scholarship explores intersections between children’s literature, ecocriticism, and didactic methodologies. Her research trajectory emphasizes the role of picturebooks in fostering ecological literacy and civic engagement, as evidenced by her critical examinations of intergenerational relationships and sustainable development goals. By synthesizing children’s rights with literary analysis, Pujol-Valls contributes significantly to contemporary debates on citizenship education and the representation of vulnerable populations in Catalan and international youth narratives. Her publications, including influential studies on post-industrial landscapes and visual storytelling, underscore a commitment to transdisciplinary approaches bridging environmental humanities and literary education. Through her leadership in the GRELIC research group, she continues to redefine the boundaries of ecocritical discourse, positioning children’s literature as a pivotal medium for societal transformation.
