Overview

We prepare and encourage our majors to study abroad, and most take advantage of this opportunity. Our approach to the study of languages is flexible, as we emphasize intersections and connections to promote cultural competencies in reading, writing and speaking skills. We consider the practices of reading and interpretation essential to a liberal arts education. These practices are at the heart of Smith's curricular goals and fundamental to all studies in the humanities.

Our curriculum reflects the fact that Spanish is increasingly recognized in our fields as domestic U.S. languages. We aim to integrate the heterogeneous languages and cultures we research and teach, from their inceptions on the Iberian Peninsula and in the Americas, to current linguistic and cultural manifestations in Europe, Africa and the Americas (including the United States), the Caribbean, the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. We emphasize transdisciplinarity, reaching beyond traditional fields of national literatures, genres and languages to embrace cultural studies, environmental studies, gender and sexuality studies, Afro-diasporic and indigenous cultures, American and Latino/a studies, transatlantic studies, translation studies, the arts and visual culture, film and media studies, and performance.
