Over the last two years, the Speaker Series has not only enriched the ENGL 6006 course but has also been a vital forum for exchange and debate beyond our department. It has been a venue for the dissemination of current, innovative and often interdisciplinary research. We would like to thank the many speakers and participants from the English Department, other departments of the UPRM, other UPR campuses and the community at large who have made the Speaker Series a successful collaborative initiative. These include graduate and undergraduate students, junior and senior faculty, UPRM staff,  and neighboring community members who have attended the presentations.
