Thank you to all who joined us for our Spanish Open House event on Monday 24 October. The event was a  great success. If you still have questions on our Major and Minor, please refer to Prof. Paul Firbas, director of undergraduate studies.

Prof. Aurélie Vialette, our new Director of Graduate Studies, has just released her first monographic book: Intellectual Philanthropists: the Seduction of the Masses (Purdue University Press, 2018), , dedicated to the study of the culture of popular workers and the rise of revolutionary movements in 19th-century Iberia (Catalonia, Basque Country, Asturias and Galicia in Spain). Prof. Vialette received her PhD from the University of California Berkeley in 2011 and joined our Department in 2014. Congratulations!
