With profound sadness and condolences to his family and friends, we in the Department of Romance Languages pay tribute to Noel Fallows, Distinguished Research Professor of Spanish and Associate Provost for Global Engagement at the University of Georgia. He passed away 29 December 2021 due to complications from a prolonged illness he fought with his singular blend of understated humor and calm determination. Noel first came to Georgia as a Masters student in Spanish literature after graduating with honors from the University of Liverpool.

A specialist in the field of Africana Studies, Maboula Soumahoro has conducted research and taught in the United States and France. Currently associate professor in the English Department of the University of Tours and resident at Villa Albertine in Atlanta, she is the author of Le Triangle et l’Hexagone, réflexions sur une identité noire (La Découverte, 2021), newly translated into English by Kaiama L.

Hispanic and Romance linguistics study language in all its aspects using scientific methods.  Research in the department covers the major areas of theoretical and applied linguistics in the Romance Languages including historical linguistics, language variation and change, pragmatics, semantics, and syntax, as well as the study of Catalan, Galician, Quechua, and endangered Indigenous languages of the Americas.

Media, visual culture, and performance studies examine visual and performing arts as well as cinematic, digital, and musical forms across languages and periods.  Research in the department interprets and compares these forms of cultural production as they relate to oral and print culture, concepts of identity, collective memory, global migration, cybernetics, and decolonization.
