Let Us In! Incorporating Afro-Latinx / Black Diaspora Culture and Themes into the Curriculum
from $590.00
Course Description
This course focuses on race and representation in the World Language curriculum particularly, the integration of Afro-Latinx identity, culture, and subsequent literature. Through careful exploration of the historical background of African-descended peoples in Spanish-speaking Americas, Spain (and by proxy, Guinea Ecuatorial) this course will center on identity formation (and the political consequences thereof), literary production, religious traditions, and notable contributions. Participants will review research related to the ACTFL standards, and analyze cultural products with the goal of curriculum integration. Through a host of interactive activities with classmates, participants in this course will discuss the purpose, rationale, and development of such cultural products and their relevance to the current political landscape. Participants will also explore how topics can play a critical role in establishing an inclusive, representative, anti-racist curriculum, and thriving classroom ecology for all students. This course is open to teachers of modern and classical languages. Conducted in Spanish with occasional readings in English.
