Hispanic Studies at Warwick

Our approach to Hispanic Studies emphasises the cultural and geographical diversity of the Hispanic world, which offers tremendous opportunities for interdisciplinary study and research, ranging across Europe, North and South America, Africa and Asia, from the Caribbean to the Pacific.

The Spanish language is the core of our teaching and research, but our students also have opportunities to delve into other languages and cultures of the Hispanic world, from Galicia on Spain's green Atlantic coast to the vibrant diversity of the Philippines. Our expertise includes:

• The cultural histories of Iberia (Spain, Portugal, Galicia), the Hispanic Atlantic and Pacific, and the Caribbean from the Renaissance to the present
• Connections and encounters between Hispanic, Lusophone, Anglophone and Francophone cultures
• Mobility (travel, migration, exile), memory and identity across the Hispanic world
• Spanish and Latin American film and sound cultures
• Environmental and ecological cultures in the Hispanic world
