My name is Jorge Hernández Lasa, and I am a visiting assistant professor in the Spanish Department at Colby College. I majored in Spanish literature at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, where I participated in many projects that included the Real Academia de la Lengua's new Spanish linguistic corpus. After finishing my undergrad, I was chosen to be a member of the Ortelius Program between Barcelona and Seoul, South Korea, where I continued working in the literature field and Spanish as a Teaching Language. In 2016, I moved to Madison, WI, where I completed a dissertation that explored poetic epistles in connection with material aspects of reading and writing in early modern Spanish literature. My current interests include early modern poetry and essays, both in Spain and in the Americas.
