Graduate Student in Spanish
Íñigo Huércanos Esparza is a Teaching Fellow in the Department of Romance Studies, where he teaches lower- and upper-division courses in Spanish language and culture. Before coming to Boston University, he taught at Penn State and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He has been an educator for the better part of a decade and was recently honored with a departmental Teaching Excellence Award.
As a scholar, Íñigo specializes in Spanish literature, film, and intellectual history from the nineteenth through the late twentieth century. His interdisciplinary research explores the role of literature and other cultural forms in shaping narratives about science, religion, secularism, and nationalism. He is currently finishing his dissertation, the first book-length project to examine how (and why) fin de siglo literary elites came to regard atheism as a psychologically, morally, and socially untenable worldview.
Íñigo’s articles on nineteenth- and twentieth-century topics have appeared in peer-reviewed journals such as the Bulletin of Spanish Studies, Revista de Literatura (CSIC), Hispanófila, Romance Notes, and Siglo Diecinueve. He has also published book reviews, contributed chapters to edited volumes, and authored award-winning translations. His work has been recognized by the Instituto Cervantes Observatory at Harvard, the Center for the Humanities at Boston University, and the Center for Humanities and Information at Penn State.
He serves as Assistant to the Director at the Iberian Modernist Studies Forum.
