Dr. Erin K. Hogan is an Associate Professor of Spanish at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC).
Dr. Hogan studies the cultures, words, and images of contemporary Spain and Latin America. Within such diverse cultural production, she is most fascinated by the articulations of power, observing how symbols and narratives travel and shape-shift across texts, temporalities, and terrains. Her research specializes in contemporary Iberian cultural production with particular interest in the child and the patriarchal corpse as biopolitical figures, gynocentric filmic representations of and by women, and the uses of comedy and satire for social justice. Dr. Hogan’s broader areas of inquiry span time, place, discipline, and media from 17th century Spain to contemporary Latin American and involve transnational screen arts, intercultural pedagogy, and videographic criticism.
As Undergraduate Program Director, Dr. Hogan partners with MLLI colleagues to promote linguistic diversity, global and intercultural competence at UMBC. She is a member of UMBC’s inaugural cohort (2022-23) of the Mellon-funded Breaking the M.O.L.D. (Mellon/Maryland Opportunities for Leadership Development). Alongside National Humanities Alliance colleagues in March 2023, she advocated for increased humanities support on Capitol Hill. Hogan has also served as a Mid-Atlantic delegate to the Modern Language Association’s Assembly and on UMBC’s Dresher Center for the Humanities Advisory Board. Overall, Dr. Hogan’s professional, humanistic activities center on amplifying diverse voices in teaching and scholarship.
