Or Hasson is a senior lecturer in the Department of Spanish, Portuguese, and Latin American Studies. He holds a Ph.D. from the Hebrew University (2015). Before joining the Department faculty, Or spent time as a Rothschild and a Fulbright Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures at Harvard University; a Mandel Fellow at the Mandel Scholion Center at the Hebrew University; and an Arnod Fellow at the Zvi Yavetz School of Historical Studies at Tel Aviv University. 

His research is dedicated, among other things, to the representation of madness in early modern Spanish literature; medical writing and its dialogue with contemporary literary fiction; converso and morisco Golden Age literature; and the Semitic—Arabic and Hebrew—heritage of the Iberian Peninsula and its place in early modern Hispanic thinking, memory, and imagination.
