Project: Altamira and the Avant-Garde: Literary Archaeologies of Francoist Spain
Anna Kathryn Kendrick is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Literature and Director of Global Awards at NYU Shanghai. Her first monograph, Humanizing Childhood in Early Twentieth Century Spain (Cambridge 2019), traces holistic theories and practices of child development within a rapidly-modernizing Spain as a complement and alternative to models of Catholic unity. During her year at the Center for the Humanities, she will begin a new project centered around the Paleolithic caves of Altamira, examining their public uses and rhetorical echoes in the work of Spanish poets and artists across the twentieth century. She holds an A.B. in History and Literature from Harvard, an MPhil in European Literature, and a PhD in Spanish from Cambridge University, where she was a Gates Cambridge Scholar.
