Spanish, Italian & Portuguese

The Department of Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese at the University of Virginia stands united with our students, University colleagues, and Charlottesville community members against racism, police brutality, and the historical oppression of Black and Indigenous people. We join the national call to reject systemic bias and violence against all People of Color. At this moment in particular—amidst anti-Hispanic and Latinx discrimination in the U.

La facultad de castellano, italiano y portugués da sus sinceros agradecimientos a las bibliotecarias Hanni Durand Nabahe de UVA y Ana Corral de la Universidad Tecnológica del Estado de Virginia (Virginia Tech) por la presente guía a los recursos locales y regionales frente al nuevo coronavirus. Esperamos que el documento sirva a la comunidad hispanohablante del pueblo de Charlottesville y la región central del estado de Virginia.

The Department of Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese extends its sincere congratulations to the Class of 2020. At the BA,MA, and PhD levels, you have faced and overcome challenges inside and outside of the classroom. Especially now, in the time of Coronavirus, you are setting an example for all of us. Even though there is not an in-person graduation ceremony, you are still graduating and we are still celebrating!

We celebrate your many accomplishments here:

Congratulations to Jessica Marroquín for the publication of her podcast, "la Santa Muerte." The podcast, part of the Sacred and Profane series, was produced as part of the Race, Religion, and Democracy Lab at UVA. Research for the podcast came from Jessie's dissertation project, "Figures of Death: Hybridity and Violence in la Santa Muerte," which she defended earlier this semester.
