Mariona Grael Martín currently serves as a Senior Lecturer within the Faculty of Education Sciences at the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, where her scholarly trajectory intersects children’s literature didactics with the ethical imperatives of global citizenship. Her recent investigations prioritize the synthesis of children’s rights and Sustainable Development Goals within literary curricula, fostering a pedagogical paradigm centered on moral education and service-learning in higher education. Notably, her collaborative research, exemplified by her critical evaluation of citizenship values in juvenile reading selections for the Revista Complutense de Educación, scrutinizes how narrative structures cultivate civic agency. Furthermore, her methodological frameworks for analyzing children’s literature concerning conflict and war elucidate the complex interplay between humanitarian advocacy and aesthetic representation. Through these contributions, Grael Martín continues to refine the discursive boundaries of pedagogical innovation, positioning literary engagement as a fundamental vehicle for realizing social justice and sustainable academic transformation.
