And Brian?

Hi, I'm Brian Brewer in the Department of Hispanic Studies.

Um, I work on the, mostly the prose literature of early modern Spain, so the 16th and 17th centuries, with a preference for Miguel de Cervantes, uh, who, um, is sort of like the Spanish Shakespeare, and is most famous for, um, work- for writing Don Quixote.

¿Por qué no hiciste nada? Why didn't you do anything? And I should just say that this episode discusses sexual assault and sexual violence, including survivor testimony, victim blaming, legal proceedings, and the psychological and emotional impact of trauma.

Our guest today is Professor Duncan Wheeler, who's Chair of Spanish Studies at the University of Leeds.

Hi, Duncan.
