The Dual-Title Ph.D. in Spanish and Visual Studies offers students the opportunity to pursue coursework and research on images, word-image relations, and diverse forms of seeing in Iberian, Latin American (including Brazilian), Inter-American, and Latinx cultures across historical periods. The program draws on faculty expertise in several areas including film studies; theatre, performance, and media studies; early modern print and material culture; graphic narrative and comics; documentary photography and visual propaganda; the aesthetics of the body and disease; and the production of social space.
In the curriculum and guided research, students forge dynamic connections with the insights and approaches of a wide range of other humanistic disciplines, such as gender studies, history, literary studies, critical race studies, disability studies, philosophy, and cultural theory.
