Ágatha Valladar begins her stay as a junior researcher at the Instituto Franklin-UAH
On January 15th, 2025, Ágatha Valladar joined the Instituto Franklin-UAH as a junior researcher in the research project “Spanish Presence in North America” as a beneficiary of the Scholarship for Junior Researchers, aimed at graduate students interested in starting their research activity on a topic related to North American Studies.
Ágatha will develop her activity at the Instituto Franklin-UAH and will participate in the creation of the HISPANAM platform, an online platform that seeks to compile and make the Spanish presence and the influence of its legacy in North America accessible to the general public through the development of a tool for dissemination and reference. The platform will bring together historical figures, events, missions, landmarks and relevant discoveries from the arrival of the first Spaniard, Ponce de León, in 1513 to the current territory of the United States until the cession of Florida to the United States of America in 1821.
The incorporation of Agatha into the research team will help program and streamline the work to be done over the next two years.
