Although we are sad to say farewell to our Spanish project director and beloved friend prof. Gustavo Pellón, who will step down at the end of the spring 2023 semester, we are happy to welcome prof. Ricardo Padrón as his successor at CLA.

Prof. Padrón studies the literature and culture of the early modern Hispanic world, particularly questions of empire, space, and cartography. Both professors will be at our next Spanish workshop "Migration and the Environment" on Saturday, April 15th - you can register to attend HERE. The workshop is free, and we will provide breakfast and lunch - we also hope to have a small celebration for both of our wonderful Spanish project directors; we hope you can join us!
