Hispanic Studies Graduate Student Profiles

I really appreciate how Western provides many supports for graduate students in both their research and teaching.

Our department is a pool of diverse people, cultures, experiences, and points of view!

What I like the most about Western are the community and the interdisciplinary atmosphere.

I love being a Spanish instructor, meeting students from all kinds of backgrounds and watching them learn and thrive.

I love the multicultural scenarios and contexts from the program. Diversity and pluralism.

I think this program offers many opportunities to postgraduate students to grow personally, academically and professionally.

My favourite part of the program is the rich cultural diversity in our grad students.

Studying Linguistics at Western has been a great experience!

My favourite part of the program is to share and learn with so many different people of diverse backgrounds and disciplines.

I really appreciate the breadth of topics we are introduced to in Western's Hispanic Studies program.

I really like the amazing community of international students who help you with various aspects such as paperwork, English proficiency and living in London.

The program is excellent. It is very well structured and allows the student to handle essential academic concepts in scientific research.

Western's Hispanic Studies graduate program is focused on helping us become well rounded academics, offering all the resources necessary to succeed in our PhD journey.

I love the community I've been part of in the Department.

One of my favourite aspects of the program is that I am constantly learning something new, working alongside other faculty members and students whose research interests are distinct to mine.

My favourite part about Western is the beautiful campus, especially in the fall!

In my research, I focus on Latin American women writers of the 19th and early 20th centuries. By studying women's publications, we can gain a better understanding of what it meant to be a woman at the time.

Hispanic Studies program has provided me the opportunity to shape some of the research topics I’m most curious about, and for that, I’m grateful to my professors.
