Professor Robert Patrick Newcomb is a co-editor, along with professors Cecilia Enjuto Rangel, Pedro García-Caro (both University of Oregon), and Sebastaan Faber (Oberlin College; Ph.D. in Spanish, UC Davis), of a new volume Transatlantic Studies: Latin America, Iberia, and Africa, published by Liverpool University Press.

A UC Davis student is telling the stories of people who came to the United States as young, undocumented immigrants, and she’s doing it in one of the most prominent places imaginable: the razor wire-topped border wall in Tijuana.

Professor Michael Lazzara appeared as a featured guest on "Criaturas," a program hosted by Chilean writer and literary critic Andrea Jeftanovic, which airs on the University of Santiago de Chile Television Network. The program focuses on a Latin American literary character as a conversation starter. In this episode, Professor Lazzara discusses El Padre Mío, the main character of a book by Chilean author Diamela Eltit, who won the 2018 Chilean National Literary Award.
