Graduate Students
2009 | RAMÓN E. FERNÁNDEZ BA, SUNY Stony Brook I graduated from Stony Brook with a BA and BS in Spanish and Mathematics. In my discipline I am concerned with literary theories and contemporary Latin American Literature and Culture. I would like to explore the current literary movements emerging in the Dominican Republic. One of my major interests is to inquire in current interdisciplinary pedagogy. I am looking forward to exploring and theorizing the link among the human, social and hard sciences. |
