Dr William Rowlandson from the Department of Hispanic Studies will be presenting at the annual summer conference at the La Fundación Archivo de Indianos in Colombres, near Santander, Spain on Friday 24 July 2015.

La Fundación Archivo de Indianos [The Foundation Indiano Archive] is housed at the Museum of Emigration. The principal objective of the Indiano Archive is the progressive accumulation of information and development of a museum about the phenomenon of Spanish emigration to South America.

William’s talk, entitled ”The Spanish Civil War and Revolution of Cuba by Ernest Hemingway’, evaluates Ernest Hemingway’s reactions to the Spanish Civil War and to the Cuban Revolution, and to the prevalence of certain motifs and narratives that bind the two conflicts in the writer’s work.
