The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa will host a Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence (SIR) from Spain to teach courses in Hispanic cinema and culture in the Department of Languages and Literatures of Europe and the Americas (LLEA) during the 2024–25 academic year. Ruth Gutiérrez Delgado, an expert in Spanish film, will offer classes on film, culture and literature.
“LLEA is delighted to have Dr. Ruth Gutiérrez Delgado teaching in the Spanish and Latin American Program,” said Lucía Aranda, a Spanish professor and LLEA chair at UH Mānoa. “Her expertise in film studies and her reputation as a film scholar in the Hispanic world provides an extraordinary opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students to explore new perspectives and engage in a broader transnational dialog.”
Gutiérrez Delgado is a senior lecturer at the School of Communication at the University of Navarre, Spain. Her primary research interests lie in the study of poetics, myth, and heroism in audiovisual texts, along with exploring the cognitive nature of fiction from a philosophical perspective. Her work spans analyses of the cinema of John Ford, Spanish and German film, family representation in TV fiction, and the myth of Quixote in Eastern Europe.
