Teaching
Dr Şizen Yiacoup’s teaching centres on medieval and early modern Spanish cultural history, with particular focus on Hispano-Muslim and Sephardi cultures, the Spanish Golden Age, and intercultural dynamics across literary genres and the visual arts. She also teaches on modern representations of medieval Spain and the cultural history of the transatlantic slave trade, as well as on Spanish-English translation, with an emphasis on historical, cultural, and stylistic contexts. With over two decades of experience in UK higher education, she has led a wide range of outreach, employability, and Knowledge Exchange initiatives, and is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. Şizen welcomes enquiries for MA and PhD supervision in pre-modern Spanish literature, particularly projects that engage with interreligious encounters and cross-cultural dynamics across a range of literary forms and historical contexts.
