Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures Department Administration Terri Carney, Ph.D., department chair Professors Larry W. Riggs, Ph.D.; Linda M. Willem, Ph.D. Associate Professors Terri Carney, Ph.D.; Eloise Sureau-Hale, Ph.D.; Sylvie Vanbaelen, Ph.D. Assistant Professors Irune del Rio Gabiola, Ph.D.; Xiaoqing Liu, Ph.D.; Gabriela Muniz, Ph.D.; Jose Alexander Quintanilla, Ph.D. 175 Butler University Instructors Liliana Goens, M.A.; Elisa Lucchi-Riester, M.A.; Sarah Painitz, Ph.D.; Juan Pablo Rodríguez, Ph.D. Why Study Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures? The study of languages, literatures and cultures gives students access to a broader global community, invites them to deepen their engagement with other linguistic and cultural traditions, and teaches them to be sensitive and critical readers of cultural texts. Becoming proficient or fluent in another language also enhances self-reflection, increases self-knowledge, and heightens awareness of one’s own community and place in the world. The communicative skills that students sharpen in our classrooms are increasingly valuable in many fields — business, education, fine arts, government, media, social services and others. A language major or minor pairs well with a variety of other majors, and many of our students choose to combine language study with areas that include: History, International Studies, Health Sciences, Biology, Anthropology, Religion, Philosophy and Pharmacy. Why Study Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures at Butler? The Butler Modern Language faculty members hail from all over the world, including Argentina, Austria, Belgium, China, Columbia, France and Spain, and their wide variety of linguistic and cultural expertise enriches our curriculum and keeps students connected to the global communities they represent. Students who study with us find they are well supported by the resources we have available in the Modern Language Center, where they often study for quizzes on our comfy chairs, watch foreign language films, and work on group projects around our computer stations. Modern Language students choose from a wide variety of well-established study abroad options, from a three-week program in Mexico to a full semester in Germany and more. They can also try a service-learning course that connects them to local language communities where they can use their language skills to communicate with native speakers. Given the interdisciplinarity of our programs, students often find creative and productive ways to combine our majors and minors with other areas. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
