Assistant Professor of Medieval Studies Professor, Nahir Ota\u00f1o Gracia received the UNM College of Arts and Sciences Marshall Award for shifting the focus of World Literature I (ENGL 2650) by prioritizing non-European texts and narratives.

Professor Ota\u00f1o Gracia has taught courses such as Intro to World Literature: On Hate and Restorative Justice<\/em> and Medieval Romance and Race<\/em>.
