Inaugural lecture discusses ghosts in Spanish fiction
Professor Sarah Leggott’s inaugural lecture Ghosts of the Past in recent Spanish fiction was held on Tuesday 28 June.
Professor Leggott’s research examines how contemporary women writers in Spain are using literature to acknowledge long silenced stories of the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s and the Franco dictatorship, and to contribute to social and political debate on the matter. Professor Leggott has studied Spanish culture and literature since she first learnt the language during a year spent in Mexico in the late 1980s. She has a Master of Arts and a PhD in Spanish.
Professor Leggott’s Inaugural Lecture is available to watch online.
