Quechua at Penn
Andean Research Proseminar will now be virtual

July 17-18, 2020
Special Call. Deadline for proposals: June 14th, 2020
Due to the extraordinary situation of COVID-19 we have made the decision to host this 2020 edition online and therefore, to make a new call for proposals.

Since 2016, the Andean Research Proseminar has offered a convivial opportunity for scholars from different disciplines residing in different countries to get to know each other, reconnect and develop relationships outside of the university and conference settings. In light of the COVID-19 crisis, we decided to host this virtual gathering with a focus on its workshop format, as an opportunity to offer peer-to-peer support and feedback, and to continue strengthening the vibrant Andean Studies community despite the current circumstances.

The two previous editions of the seminar took place in Cusco, Peru (2016, 2018). The third was expected to be in Quito, Ecuador. For this special virtual edition, we are still working in collaboration with Universidad San Francisco de Quito, FLACSO Ecuador, the University of Pennsylvania, and Northwestern University. The sessions will now be on July 17th and 18th, 2020.

The complete call is available here:  http://web.sas.upenn.edu/quechua/2020_andean_proseminar_/ 

Free online Workshop on Indigenous Language Rights and Quechua/Kichwa Digital Activism
We are hosting a free online workshop, aiming to promote an exchange of ideas and also to empower young Indigenous language activists. Space is limited.

[online talk] Education and Cooperation in the Andes: Cristobal Suárez (U. Valencia)
Join us for a talk by Prof. Cristóbal Suárez Guerrero (Universitat de València). Talk will be in Spanish.

Les invitamos cordialmente a asistir a la charla: “Aprender y cooperar en Educación: Una visión Global desde los Andes” por el profesor Cristóbal Suárez Guerrero (U. de València)

FECHA:
Viernes 22 de mayo
HORA: 1pm (Perú/Chicago), 2pm (Filadelfia, Bolivia)
Transmisión gratuita vía Facebook Live, página Quechua at Penn: www.fb.com/quechuapenn
Abstract:
El aprendizaje cooperativo es muy exitoso a nivel conceptual, pero tiene poco defensores en la práctica. La forma de interacción social estándar en el aula es la enseñanza, que es una vía eficiente de desarrollo, pero no es la única forma de interacción social válida para aprender, también está el trabajo en equipo que tiene otros efectos formativos. Desde una lectura vivencial de la cooperación en el Ande peruano vía la costumbre de Wasichakuy (Mollebamba, Apurímac, Perú) y el estudio de la cooperación mediada por tecnología en la Sociedad Red, se busca identificar los elementos, la ética y el valor formativo que tiene aprender todos y no fracasar juntos.
