Listen "Found in Translation"
Episode Synopsis
I Do Declare! welcomes host Jane Sanchez Swain, in this wonderful double interview between Dr. Maria José García Vizcaíno and Melanie Lopez. As Chair of Spanish and Latino Studies at Montclair State University, Vizcaíno shares her experiences at Universidad de Granada in Spain, where she discovered her passion for languages and translation, leading to her eventual move to the United States. Melanie, a student pursuing a double major in Spanish, explains how the courses are more than just a language for her – they’re a way to connect with her family and community. In discussions between Chair and student, listeners will gain a new understanding and appreciation for the Spanish major, and learn how languages can usher in new experiences and opportunities.
