Reshaping Hispanic Cultures: 2019 Instituto Cervantes Symposium on Recent Scholarship Vol. I. Identity, Language& Teaching

In May 2019, the Observatory of the Spanish Language and Hispanic Cultures in the USA held its annual symposium for the fourth consecutive year, thus continuing the academic meetings which started in 2016 under the name "Reshaping Hispanic Cultures," with the aim of providing a forum for debate and reflection on Hispanism, mainly addressed to lecturers and researchers who are starting their professional careers, but also to experts wishing to share their work on new or established lines of research. In this way, the symposium accomplishes several of the major objectives defined for the Observatorio, an Instituto Cervantes research center at Harvard University which, apart from analyzing and disseminating the Spanish language and Hispanic cultures, pursues the aim of supporting study and collaboration among researchers from this and other US universities, as well as from Spain and Latin American countries, promoting the work of young researchers, graduate and doctorate students or undergraduates, with an interest in the various areas of study of Hispanism.
