The visit’s main objective coincided with that of the Area of US Hispanic Studies, led by Armando Miguélez: to strengthen links with American universities and disseminate Chicano culture both inside and outside university communities, publicize the work by Miguel Hernández on American continents, as well as increase university mobility by both faculty and students. Besides meeting with the UMH Vice Rector for International Relations, Vicente Micol, the group of investigators toured the Journalism and Audiovisual Communication facilities and participated in roundtables with faculty and investigators from the Faculty of Social and Legal Sciences of Elche and the Department of Social and Human Sciences.
