Somos el Departamento de Español y Portugués más sabroso en el área de Washington DC y Maryland.
The Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Maryland, College Park, has been the home of Latin American and Spanish authors such as Juan Ramón Jiménez, who taught at the University between 1943 and 1951 and who, after being nominated by the Department, received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1956. The legacy of Juan Ramón Jiménez as well as that of cultural critic Ángel Rama, award-winning poet José Emilio Pacheco, and Professor Emerita Graciela Palau de Nemes continues to shape the thought, vision, and mission of our Department. Following in this tradition of excellence and innovation, the Department offers comprehensive undergraduate and graduate programs in the languages, literatures, and cultures of Latin America, Spain, and Portugal.
The Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Maryland, College Park, seeks to forge a strong dialogue between, and within, our areas of specialization pertaining to Latin America, Spain, and Portugal. To that end, we offer thorough instruction in the diverse, complex, and globalized literatures, cultures, and linguistics of the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking world. Our students not only develop the critical language skills to communicate in the target language but also gain an understanding of the cultures, politics, histories, and literatures of the communities and national spaces of the Americas, Spain and Portugal.
Our goal is to foster learning, develop critical perspectives, and promote intellectual growth in our students. We teach across interdisciplinary fields such as literature, film, popular and visual culture, theatre, history, philosophy, critical theory, gender and queer studies, philology, and linguistics in different cultural and geographic contexts. We strive for the creation and discussion of new forms of knowledge and the effective engagement of our students and faculty with the world. We prepare students to become promising professionals in their chosen careers.
