Interested in learning more about the academic genre of book reviews? The book review is a brief writing piece that helps researchers to evaluate potential usefulness of sources by engaging with colleagues’ substantiated opinions and critiques of a work.
In Laufenberg’s Spanish 5545 Literary Theory course in Spring 2026, students will tackle their own book reviews of recently published books in the field of Hispanic literature and culture. Students will end the course with a draft book review that when revised could be submitted for publication in a journal in our field.
Keep an eye out for this and other innovative new Spanish MA courses coming in Spring 2026!
The spring course schedule will be visible on October 13 and registration begins for graduate students on November 3.
