The Florida Cervantes Symposium provides an academic platform for specialists, scholars, and students to gather and discuss research and teaching methodologies related to Cervantes’s works and early modern Spain and the Americas. This year’s symposium will feature two keynote speakers: Prof. Luce López Baralt from the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras, and Michel Armstrong-Roche from Wesleyan University. As in previous editions, participants at this year’s symposium will explore cross-cultural influences, linguistic connections, and shared historical contexts, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the broader Hispanic world beyond the borders of early modern Spain. The interdisciplinary nature of the event will foster a broader perspective on the cultural and historical interconnections within the Spanish-speaking world. All events are free and open to the general public.
