Department of Spanish & Portuguese at U of T

We are a vibrant academic unit at the University of Toronto, committed to supporting our students' development of Spanish and Portuguese language proficiency and to their growth in expertise in Spanish-speaking and Lusophone literatures, culture and linguistics.

In 2019, we welcomed back the Latin American Studies program to our department. This integration expands our focus on issues relevant to the ideas, peoples, and commodities that have come together within a far-reaching trans-Atlantic cultural sphere - including the indigenous peoples of Latin America, Latin American migrants and their descendants in Canada and elsewhere.

Join us to learn more about issues relevant to the peoples whose stories and histories evolved and were documented in Spanish and Portuguese, and gain appreciation for their historical and cultural trajectories.
