Chair of the Department of Modern
Languages and Literatures Faculty Research in COLFA
Faculty research in the College of Liberal and Fine Arts is as diverse as the College itself. From
psychological studies on ethnically mixed work groups, memory development, and
mother/child conflicts to the archaeology of the Maya region and the Greater
Southwest to an investigation of the effect of music on the brain to a look at
San Antonio as a transnational city, faculty research in COLFA offers broad
opportunities for both graduate and undergraduate students to augment their
classroom studies while the faculty researchers add to the body of knowledge in
their respective fields.
