It also celebrates the growing relevance of this major scholarly field in Oxford over recent years, largely thanks to the exceptional calibre of graduate students and early career researchers.

Other speakers include Salvador Reyes Equigas (UNAM), Capucine Boidin (Sorbonne Nouvelle, Paris), Caroline Cunill (EHESS, Paris) and Andrew Laird (Brown), who will speak on 19 June alongside a number of Oxford-based scholars.

The symposium is sponsored by Magdalen College, Oxford, the Faculty of History of the University of Oxford, and the Latin American Centre. It is also part of, and supporte by, the Iberian History Seminar programme for Trinity Term and will be its concluding activity for the current academic year.
