Hispanic Studies at Warwick
Hispanic Studies is an exciting new development at the University of Warwick. Established in autumn 2012 with the appointments of a Professor, Associate Professor (Reader), and Assistant Professor, the department is committed to high-level, interdisciplinary research on the literatures, histories, and cultures of the Hispanic world. Particular strengths lie in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Spain, Portugal, Galicia, and the Caribbean, and research currently focuses on issues of identity, memory, and cultural exchange (further details on our research specialisms are available at:
http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/hispanic/people/).
The department sits within the Faculty of Arts and also the Sub-Faculty of Modern Languages, allowing collaborative links with other language departments as well as with the Language Centre. Hispanic Studies has close links with the distinguished Warwick School of Comparative American Studies. It is also integrated within the Humanities Research Centre, which can provide research funding, host conferences, workshops, and public lectures, receive academic visitors, sponsor fellows, and coordinate research initiatives. The University Library is investing in enhanced Hispanic Studies provision and the IT infrastructure is extensive, with direct access to electronic databases, bibliographies, and numerous on-line publications. The University also maintains a dedicated Research Support Service, which assists external funding applications, encourages bids through its own Research Development Fund, funds strategic partnership initiatives, and – via its Institute of Advanced Study – promotes international collaborative research projects.
