Early Modern Hispanic Studies Symposium

About This Event

This will be the group's 4th annual symposium, a one-day conference (10am-5pm) with 10 speakers. We solicited paper proposals and formed three panels in which to workshop ideas, offer and receive constructive criticism, and enjoy the opportunity of conversing more broadly with colleagues who study the early modern Hispanic world from a variety of perspectives: literary, linguistic, historical, as well as strategies on teaching. The invited speaker (Prof. Roncero) will offer a 45-minute lecture on humor and violence in a picaresque novel. This symposium is a venue where senior scholars and graduate students can mingle, network, and engage in intellectual exchange.
