*Announcing the Amy R. Williamsen Endowed Scholarship for Spanish and
Portuguese at the University of Arizona*



We are deeply saddened by the news that Dr. Amy Williamsen passed away
suddenly this April. Amy was a beloved faculty member in our UA Department
of Spanish and Portuguese for 22 years who also served in the role of
Associate Department Head. A specialist in Early Modern Peninsular
literature and contemporary literary theory, she was a founding member of
the international association dedicated to study of women writers of Early
Modern Spain and Colonial Latin America now known as GEMELA. In 2011, she
became Professor Emerita of Spanish and Portuguese at UA, and that same
year she moved across the country to become the inaugural head of the
Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures at the University of
North Carolina, Greensboro. Amy was an exemplary scholar, teacher, leader,
colleague, and friend who will be greatly missed.
