The Department of Spanish and Portuguese provides a PhD program in Hispanic Languages and Literatures (HLL) with two specialization options: Hispanic and Latin American Literatures and Cultures, or Luso-Brazilian Literatures and Cultures. Graduate candidates must cultivate comprehensive knowledge across various academic disciplines (including literary genres, historical eras, and cultural/social regions) to enhance their professional collaboration skills and marketability in academia. Our faculty and graduate researchers cover all these domains while also representing current scholarly directions, ranging from textual analysis, book history, and literature's connection to material culture, to artistic theory, literary-visual arts intersections, and performance studies. The curriculum mandates proficiency in both Spanish and Portuguese plus an additional research-relevant language, with studies encompassing transatlantic literary and cultural traditions. As students advance, they develop personalized theoretical frameworks for investigating their chosen specialization areas.
