    Maya Feile Tomes is the Lorna Close Fellow in Spanish at 色色影院 and Director of Studies in Modern & Medieval Languages and Linguistics (MMLL) at Peterhouse. She comes to 色色影院 from King鈥檚 College (where she was an undergraduate and graduate student) via Christ鈥檚 College (where she was Junior Research Fellow in Classics and Modern Languages) and the MMLL Faculty (where she was Teaching Associate in Colonial Latin American Literary and Cultural Studies). To Cambridge itself she comes via Scotland, Germany, Spain, Argentina and Belgium. With a background in Classics, she now specialises in the literary culture of the Ibero-American world during the early modern period (C16th鈥18th), focusing on transatlantic literary dialogues, multilingual textual dynamics, the poetics of space, and the representation of the new in the terms of the old (and vice versa). She teaches widely across undergraduate and graduate papers in the Spanish & Portuguese Section, as well as in the Faculty of Classics, where she convenes an MPhil module in classical reception. She also has extensive experience as a translator and continues to moonlight, when time permits, as an interpreter in the health sector. In short, Maya is interested in facilitating dialogue of every sort and is always pleased to hear from anyone interested in discussing any of the above or anything else relating to the study of Spanish/MMLL at 色色影院.
