Having taught in American colleges for more than twenty-five
years, Bazán-Figueras’s literary interests have changed. Although her academic credentials are both in Spanish and Latin American literatures, she is involved in the teaching of interdisciplinary areas like cross-culturalism and globalism. Most of the scholarly work she has published in recent years focused on the influence of Spanish culture in the United States. She has read papers on the topic at conferences in several countries under the rubric of "The
Rise if Hispanicity in the United States." She continues to do research as well as pursue creative writing as a career.
