In conjunction with the History Department, Professor Susie Porter will coordinate and plan the workshop on Latin American History. Dr. Porter will focus predominately on the teaching of Mexican history in the secondary classroom, by utilizing literature written by and about Latin history and culture within the past 100 years. This workshop will be scheduled for the second week of July, 1997.
More information is forthcoming.
The teachers from last year's workshop were inspired by the program planned by Professor Goebel on Native American Literature. The workshops are the second in a three year series dedicated to providing teachers with the opportunity to learn new teaching material and methods, and to allow them to increase their continuing education units for the state. The five day workshops combine lectures, discussions, group interaction sessions, and individual reflection time. Issues are provided to the Center's mailing list, Humanities College faculty at the University of Utah, and to corporations and foundations who fund the Center. The Sterling M. McMurrin Lecture on Religion, to be presented by the Right Reverend Carolyn T. Irish, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Utah, has been changed to Wednesday, March 12, 1997.
