About Professor Cohn

Adam Cohn specializes in 19th- through 21st-century Spanish literature, with a focus on diaspora, colonialism, and Jewish topics. His primary research projects center on philo-Sephardic politics and culture in the early 20th century as well as contemporary Jewish literature from Spain. Additionally, Adam researches and has published on the work of Federico García Lorca and Spanish Civil War literature. His articles have appeared in Anales de la Literatura Española Contemporánea, Bulletin of Spanish Studies, and Romance Quarterly. Before coming to UNC, Adam taught classes on Spanish literature (Middle Ages-present) and translation. At UNC, his course offerings in Romance Studies and Jewish Studies will focus on modern Iberian culture, imaginations of Sepharad, the Spanish Civil War, and Jewish literature and representation in modern Spain.
