Languages, Literatures and Cultures, was inducted into the Order of Don
Quijote by the national Spanish collegiate honorary society Sigma Delta
PiĀ in a special Zoom event on May 1, 2021. This honor was awarded by
the leadership of Sigma Delta Pi in conjunction with the professional
organization AATSP (American Association of Teachers of Spanish and
Portuguese). According to the Sigma Delta Pi website, āThe highest honor
conferred by Sigma Delta Pi, the Order of Don Quijote, recognizes
exceptional and meritorious service in the fields of Hispanic
scholarship, the teaching of Spanish and the promotion of good relations
between English-speaking countries and those of Spanish speech.ā The
AATSP executive director cited Brownās ācutting-edge theoretical work on
the canonā that has āshaped the identity and curriculum of Spanish and
Latin American Studies,ā as well as her pioneering scholarship on
Spanish author Carmen MartĆn Gaite, Spanish literature by women and
oral-language acquisition. The president of Sigma Delta Pi noted that
āProfessor Brownās exemplary record of scholarship and professional
contributions have earned her this international distinction.ā Sigma
Delta Pi was founded in 1919 at the University of California-Berkeley.
The UD chapter was inaugurated in 1974 by the late A. Julian Valbuena,
Brownās colleague and mentor who was the first Elias Ahuja Chair of
Spanish. Prof. Valbuena was inducted into the Order of Don Quijote in
1998 in recognition of his monumental contributions to the field of
Hispanic studies.<br></p> | | Uncropped Vertical | | GP0|#99d961eb-8936-415c-9024-28a13cec289a;L0|#099d961eb-8936-415c-9024-28a13cec289a|Awards and Honors;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c | 2021.00000000000 | https://www.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=11 | |

Brown</strong>, Elias Ahuja Chair of Spanish, has published a new book entitledĀ <em>Calila: The Later Novels of Carmen MartĆn Gaite</em>Ā (Bucknell University Press, 2021).The volume explores the last six novels by Spainās most honored contemporary woman writer. Its scholarship is enriched by the voice of Calila herselfāas Brown called the author, who was a dear friendāas they conversed and exchanged letters during the composition of the novels. Because of their friendship, the author made several visits to UD. The first photograph in BrownĀ“s book shows MartĆn Gaite after her first talk on campus in 1979, and the last photograph shows her after her last UD lecture (which would also be her last lecture in the United States) in 1996.</p> | <img alt="Cover of "Calila: The Later Novels of Carmen MartĆn Gaite"" src="/ForTheRecord%20Images/DLLC_210305_BrownBookCalila.jpg" style="BORDER:0px solid;" /> | Uncropped Vertical | | GP0|#e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b;L0|#0e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b|Publications;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c | 2021.00000000000 | https://www.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=65 | |
