Christopher Conway
I'm a Professor of Spanish in the Department of Modern Languages at UT Arlington. I received my Ph.D. in Literature with a focus on Latin America from the University of California San Diego in 1996. Since then I have published widely on Latin American literature and culture.
I began my career as a specialist on the Latin American Cult of Simón Bolívar (1783-1830). At mid-career my focus shifted to nineteenth-century Latin American culture writ large, culminating in a book titled "Nineteenth-Century Spanish America: A Cultural History" (2015), which provides an overview of the century vis-a-vis music, painting, literature, photography, customs, and theater. My current research focus is in Comparative Literature, Media Studies, Comics, and American Studies. I'm interested in how different types of popular media, such as comics and fiction, represent identity and culture at different points in history.
