La Casa Hispánica
Overview
La Casa Hispánica hosts many cultural activities during the academic year, including weekly informal "cafecitos" with the language scholars, movie nights, poetry readings, potluck dinners for students and department faculty, dance performances, and concerts. These activities provide an opportunity for students across the college to enjoy many aspects of Hispanic culture as they practice their Spanish language skills in an informal setting.
In addition, La Casa is a residence hall for two department language scholars (graduate students from Spain and Argentina), an HA, and 16 Reed students, who wish to consolidate their language skills and further explore Hispanic culture. More information on La Casa.
Language Scholars
Essential members of the Spanish department, our two language scholars (one from Argentina and one from Spain) live with students in the Casa hispánica and provide cultural expertise in planning activities. In addition, the Language scholars lead weekly "conversation groups" for students enrolled in the first- and second-year language classes and are available for consultation for all students.

¡Buenas! My name is Angeles, but you can call me Angie, and I am from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I studied Social Sciences, History and Culture at Universidad Torcuato Di Tella. I enjoy everything related to literature, film, history, and art. I'm really looking forward to sharing our different cultures, exchanging ideas, or just having some coffee (or mate!) together. ¡Nos vemos!

¡Saludos! My name is Andreu, and I'm from Sant Feliu de Guíxols, a little town in the Costa Brava, near Girona. I studied Humanities at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra and a master’s degree in Literary Studies at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Culture is always a heterogeneous and cross-cutting mix of literature, music, cinema… That's where I want to focus my attention, or perhaps, reside. I love reading and discussing our favorite authors, so let's meet up whenever you want. And if it's over a cup of coffee, even better!
