Carlos Ramos

Carlos Ramos received his "Licenciatura en Filología Hispánica" from the University of Barcelona in June of 1986. He has a master's degree in Mass Communication from Emerson College as well as a Ph.D. in Romance Languages and Literatures from Boston University.

His book Ciudades en mente: Dos incursiones en el espacio urbano de la narrativa española moderna (1887-1934) was published in Sevilla, Spain, in 2002. He has co-edited with Elena Gascón Vera Wellesley, Recuerdo ileso: Una celebración de lo hispano en el 125 aniversario (Lleida: Editorial Milenio, 2002).

An Associate Professor in the Spanish Department, he teaches courses in Poetry, Post-Civil War Spanish narrative, the Cultures and Civilizations of Spain as well as seminars in Modernity and Avant-garde in Spain, and the connections between Literature and Architecture.

A specialist in 19th and 20th century Peninsular literature, his research interests also include the literary and artistic Avant-garde, poetry, cinema, technology, and the cultural history of contemporary Spain. In collaboration with Julián Acebrón, from the Universitat de Lleida, Spain, he mantains a web site designed to be a research tool for the study of literature in Spanish. It is called Internet para hispanistas, and what you see is the project in development.

Whenever he is not with his wife Neus and his daughters Blau and Duna, his pastimes include enjoying the astonishing nature of New England, listening to music of all kinds, and following with paralyzing anxiety his Spanish soccer team: F.C. Barcelona.
