Student Profile

Sergio Manuel Silva

PhD Candidate, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese

About

I am a second year PhD student in the Department of Spanish, Italian & Portuguese at UVA. My research is focused on Early Modern Spanish texts (Don Quijote and poetry) and the ways lived experience is mediated through the artist’s craft. I have been involved in radio and cultural audio projects for a long time (both as producer and as a devoted listener) and it is something that I love. I am from Colombia and I just completed my first year in the U.S.
