    Ramos NOT OFFERED IN 2009-10. An exploration of the historical, intellectual, creative and artistic connections between Spain and the U.S. from Columbus' diaries to the present. The United States and Spain, so far apart geographically, have intersected at decisive moments in history for more than 500 years. Despite the relatively high level of familiarity each society has with the other, mutual misunderstandings have been frequent. This course explores the roots of this dissonance by looking closely at a few specific episodes in history and culture that have shaped reciprocal perceptions. The class offers readings and materials drawn from history, architecture and literature and con-cludes with an analysis of the role of Wellesley College in the long-running intercultural dialogue.
