The Immigration Crisis in Europe: The Case of Spain with Laura López Calonge

Laura López Calonge is a Visiting Instructor of Spanish at Albright College.

Laura realized she loved languages even before finishing her Bachelor’s Degree in Spanish Philology at the Universidad Complutense of Madrid, the city where she was born but left almost 10 years ago. She enhanced her education at other institutions in Spain (Universidad de Cantabria, Universidad de Sevilla) and Europe (Charles University of Prague) and focused on Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language for her Master’s Degree. She is currently preparing her PhD thesis on Spanish Pragmatics and Conversation Analysis at the University of Valencia. She has taught for over five years in high schools in England and India, as well as at the University of the West Indies in Trinidad and Tobago. She has worked in collaboration with the Cervantes Institute as an evaluator of Spanish-language proficiency for non-native speakers of Spanish and with the Embassy of Spain in Trinidad assisting in the organization of cultural events. She loves nature, sports (India brought the practice of yoga to her), connecting with other cultures, learning from them and trying to make this world a better place to live.

This event is being held virtually at 12:00 noon on April 13th.
