The UConn PBK chapter is delighted to be hosting a national Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar this fall!

Dr. Ricardo Padrón will join us Thursday, November 3rd for a lecture in the Konover Auditorium Humanities Institute (Babbidge Library, Level 4) on the Storrs campus.

Dr. Padrón is a Professor of Spanish at the University of Virginia.  His area of specialization is the literature and culture of the early modern Hispanic World.  He has published extensively, including in 2020 The Indies of the Setting Sun: How Early Modern Spain Mapped the Far East as the Transpacific West.  See https://www.pbk.org/Ricardo-Padron. 

We look forward to welcoming Dr. Padrón for his talk and additional events in early November.
