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.

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.

Literary Aesthetics & Poetics is the study of poetry, prose, dramatic works, and other genres of oral and written expression across languages to understand their structures, meanings, contexts, and reception over time.  Scholarship in the department examines and critically interprets poetry, short story and the novel, theater and film, treatises, histories, essays, letters and journalism through historical periods using philological methods as well as literary and cultural theory.
