Professor Henager′s CV (PDF)

In addition to courses in the basic and intermediate Spanish language/cultures sequence, Prof. Henager teaches a wide range of courses in the advanced literatures and cultural studies curriculum. Many of the advanced courses he teaches are related in some form to his primary interests in contemporary Spanish American narrative, popular culture in literature, and literary representations of transculturation. His current research focuses on the roles literature and journalism play in Latin America in modifying meanings associated with imported US cultural products, especially baseball.
