The Bulletin of Advanced Spanish presents
Spanish: Connections – a roadshow by our Senior Editor Robin Wallis.
Today’s Spain and Spanish America have been shaped by the clash of outlooks and ideas: Catholics versus Moors, Conquistadors versus Indigenous, Conservatives versus Reformers.
Understanding these forces is essential for understanding the Spanish-speaking world, but syllabus and timetable constraints mean that they are often overlooked.
Spanish: Connections redresses the balance by highlighting key points in the history, literature, politics and culture of the mundo hispano. Robin’s experience as a traveller, teacher, examiner, writer, diplomat and tour lecturer enable him to paint a revealing portrait of this world, tailoring his presentation to the particular study focus of each audience.

‘Our hispanists really enjoyed the way you linked Spanish and Latin American History together, showing how one influenced another.’
‘It is wonderful to encounter anybody as passionate and experienced as this.’
