Dr Antonio Lázaro-Reboll, Senior Lecturer in Hispanic Studies for the Department of Modern Languages, has won Leverhulme Trust funding for the visit of Professor Susana de la Sierra from Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha (Toledo, Spain). During her Visiting Professorship in the Autumn Term, Professor de la Sierra will be delivering two Leverhulme Lectures and contributing guest talks to undergraduate modules in the School of European Culture and Languages and in the School of Law, amongst other research activities. Professor de la Sierra was Director-General of the Spanish Institute for Cinema and Audiovisual Arts; the independent body responsible for the promotion of Spanish film, between 2012 and 2014. She is also an internationally recognized expert on comparative law and media-policy making as a method of European integration. Her visit to the inter-school Centre for Film and Media Research would allow her to contribute first-hand knowledge and expertise in the field of film policy to both the School of Arts and the School of European Culture and Languages.
