Doctor of Philosphy in Hispanic Studies in Providence United States | Brown University

Brown University's PhD program in Hispanic Studies focuses on the worldwide interconnections and cross-disciplinary exchanges within Hispanic literature and cultures. Students develop expertise as both specialists and generalists, working with a distinguished faculty known for their contributions to performance, visual arts, urban studies, and environmental research. The Department of Hispanic Studies adopts a Trans-Atlantic, interdisciplinary perspective in examining the literary and cultural traditions of Spain and Latin America. Our faculty, recognized globally, brings diverse expertise spanning various historical periods and regions. We foster a cohesive yet varied academic community dedicated to analyzing the cultural intersections that shape the Hispanic experience across time. Based in the historic Rochambeau House, faculty and students collaborate extensively with other Brown departments and programs (including Comparative Literature, Art History, Medieval Studies, Portuguese and Brazilian Studies, the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, the Pembroke Center, and the John Carter Brown Library), as well as international partners. The undergraduate curriculum includes foundational to advanced language instruction and a broad array of literature and culture courses, often offered jointly with other disciplines.
