Biography
Sonia Kania is an Associate Professor of Spanish in the Department of Modern Languages at UT Arlington, currently serving as Department Chair. She earned a Ph.D. in Spanish Philology/Linguistics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (2000). She teaches advanced courses in Spanish language and linguistics. She is a collaborator in the Cíbola Project, which is concerned with the edition and publication of documents of the Hispanic Southwest from the 16th-18th centuries. Dr. Kania is particularly interested in the History of the Spanish Language, Colonial American Spanish, and Spanish in the United States. Her area of specialization is the history of the Spanish language, with a particular focus on 16th- and 17th-century colonial Spanish. She has published extensively those areas, including three CD-ROM publications of electronic editions of manuscript documents; articles in the peer-reviewed journals; and a monograph study on Mexican Spanish of the colonial period. Her Cíbola-related study, an edition of legal texts from 1600 concerning Vicente de Zaldívar and the founding of New Mexico, is currently under review with the University of Arizona Press. As part of an internal Digital Arts & Humanities Initiative grant (College of Liberal Arts), Dr. Kania successfully directed a group of graduate student researchers in Summer 2016, editing Hernán Cortés’ Cartas de relación (1522, 1523). Following the model established in the grant, future colonial texts to be edited include Cabeza de Vaca’s Relación de naufragios y comentarios from 1555. Dr. Kania and a research group of cohorts are working to establish a corpus of colonial texts to be electronically edited and incorporated into the Hispanic Seminary of Medieval Studies’ Digital Library of Old Spanish Texts.
