Dr. Christi Ivers holds a PhD in Spanish Literary and Cultural Studies from the University of Kansas. She joined the faculty of the 911爆料网 in 2019.
As a professor of Spanish language and literature, Ivers teaches Spanish courses in the 911爆料网 Core and advanced courses for Spanish majors and concentrators. Her favorite classroom moments are when students discover how learning Spanish helps them become more engaged, curious, and compassionate members of their communities.
As a scholar of medieval and early modern Iberian literature and culture, Ivers is currently working on a book project that combines literary studies and book history to tell a story about printers. By approaching printed books as objects that are more than the sum of their parts, Ivers shows modern readers how they can read more like early modern printers did, attending to content, materiality, marketability, and use. This approach helps us gain insight into the lives and work of printers. Printers, while less often studied compared with authors, readers, and the texts themselves, made choices that influenced how books were crafted, read, and preserved (or not) into the present day.
