Diana P. Romero

Lecturer in Language (Spanish)

Diana Romero has been working as a full-time lecturer at Columbia since fall 2004. She has been a lecturer at the Departments of Spanish and Portuguese at Northwestern University and Yale University. She worked as a teaching assistant in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Maryland, College Park while pursuing her graduate studies there on Latin American literature.

Diana received the Distinguished Teaching Assistant Award given by the Center for Teaching Excellence at the University of Maryland, and the Excellence in Teaching Award given by the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the behest of the students. She is currently working on a dissertation on fin-de-siècle Colombian narrative.

She believes that teaching and learning are multidirectional and multifaceted processes where the meaningful and creative involvement of all the participants is essential. In her classes she fosters an environment where students can build increasing critical and self-learning strategies that integrate different aspects of language and culture. Activities and materials should help participants in the class develop a greater cultural understanding and awareness of the Spanish speaking peoples and think critically about their own culture.
