Latin American Resource Center

February 2014 

As February draws to a close, Tulane's Latin American Resource Center is gearing up for three spring teacher workshops and planning a summer institute in Cuba.

The first upcoming teacher workshop is for language teachers.  It will focus on pedagogy in the classroom and be held on Tulane's campus March 19th.  In collaboration with Tulane's Middle American Research Institute and the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas, the LARC will once again host the annual teacher workshop on the Maya before the Tulane Maya Symposium March 20 - March 23, 2014. Our third teacher workshop, in collaboration with Xavier University, is on the literacy campaign in Cuba featuring the film, Maestra and filmmaker Catherine Murphy March 29, 2014.  Don't forget to register for these exciting workshops!
