Dr. Fernando Gómez Herrero

Educated in Europe (Spain and Britain; BA and MA U de Salamanca & Erasmus Program, U of Wales, Swansea) and the US (MA, Wake Forest U & PhD, Duke U & M.L.S. Simmons College), I have also travelled frequently to Latin America (mostly Mexico). I bring this international experience to the professional table. I have lived half my life in Europe and half in the United States as itinerant academic having held faculty and research posts at Duke, Stanford, Pittsburgh, Oberlin, Harvard U, Boston C, UMass, Boston). Back in Britain, I am teaching in Modern Languages (Hispanic Studies) at the U of Birmingham (2017-18), whilst pursuing diverse scholarly and research interests often riding the train in between London and Birmingham.

Marine Ansquer

I am a second-year PhD student in Lyon (University Lyon 2, France), with the professor Philippe Meunier as director. I am studying the Spanish novela morisca (16th-17th centuries): Historia del Abencerraje y la hermosa Jarifa, Guerras civiles de Granada (Ginés Pérez de Hita), Historia de los dos enamorados Ozmín y Daraja (Mateo Alemán) and Don Quixote (Miguel de Cervantes). More specifically, I am working on the crossings between History and Fiction in my corpus, as the historical substrate is obvious in this genre, and I am trying to show in which ways the authors use this material to build their narratives. I am also studying the short fictional form, as these stories are mainly interpolated tales; I aim to determine the relations between the short novela, and the main story.

Dr. Imogen Choi

Imogen Choi is Associate Professor in Spanish and Queen Sofía Fellow at Exeter College, University of Oxford. She is currently preparing a monograph for publication with Tamesis which connects the ‘new wars’ of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to political thought and the literary culture of early modern globalisation in the connected communities of Hispanic Europe and the Americas, using the epic poetry of viceregal Peru as a gateway into these questions. She is also co-editing a volume with Rodrigo Cacho, The Rise of Spanish American Poetry, 1500-1700: Literary and Cultural Transmission in the New World (Oxford: Legenda, 2019). Her next project deals with sacred epic poetry written in Spanish.

Andrea Pauw

Andrea Pauw is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Virginia (Charlottesville, VA) where she is a currently a Jefferson Fellow. Her dissertation approaches "Aljamiado" and Arabic poetry composed by Mudejars and Moriscos in 15th-16th century Spain from a theoretical framework grounded in linguistic anthropology ("Aljamiado" refers to the use of the Arabic alphabet to transliterate Romance). Heretofore neglected poetic compositions offer insight into the realities of Aragonese Muslims’ religious and social practices. Moving from an emic to an etic perspective, the project also examines 19th-century visual representations of the expulsion (1609-14). Andrea is excited to participate in the Iberian (In)Tolerance conference and looks forward to learning from scholars in the field
