At the beginning of the Fall 2011 semester, we met with all of the new faculty hires in the College of Arts and Sciences. This series of podcasts introduces them and their research interests. Carmen Moreno-Nuño is an associate professor in the Department of Hispanic Studies and looks at the cultural representation of historical memory. In particular, she focuses on how the Spanish Civil War is portrayed and discussed in literature and cinema. Currently, she is collaborating with other researchers on an edited volume regarding the representation of the guerilla during Spain's period of dictatorship under Fransisco Franco.
This concert featuring UK faculty and students, as well as international guest artists, will take the stage at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 21, at the Worsham Theater
