Irene Pajón Leyra has a PhD in Classical Philology (2008) and an MA in Hebrew Philology (2006). In her thesis she studied the Greek paradoxographic literature, and moreover she has worked on geographic literature in Antiquity. Both fields of interest, geography and paradoxography, converge in her studies on the Artemidorus papyrus, on which she has published some articles in Spanish and international journals. She studied papyrology at seminars in Madrid and Oxford, where she was a postdoctoral fellow in 2010 and 2011. Since December 2011 she is a postdoctoral fellow at CCHS, CSIC in Madrid, where she is part of the DVCTVS team.
