- to develop approaches involving deep time or the longue durée and/or the reinvention of the past.
- to develop comparative approaches, and especially those exploring similarities across cultures.
- to develop approaches that look beyond a narrow focus on historical context.
- to incorporate work on imperialism and colonialism in the modern period.
- to develop approaches that look at affiliations beyond one country, especially Atlantic studies, and studies of internationalism, cosmopolitanism; and related aspects of utopian studies.
- to revise the canon of Hispanic culture of this period.
