Founded in 1996 as an outgrowth of the Iberian Studies
Group, the Spanish Studies Program (SSP) promotes the interdisciplinary
study of
the countries and cultures of the Iberian peninsula, primarily
by sponsoring lectures, conferences, performances, and other
events
on the UC Berkeley campus. SSP other aims:
- Foster better contacts between the University and other universities
and research institutions in Spain
- Sponsor visiting scholars from the Iberian peninsula and provide a
forum for the presentation of research
- Reach out to the members of the Bay Area community with an interest
in Spanish studies
- Coordinate its activities on the Berkeley campus with those of analogous
groups throughout the University of California.
