This roundtable discussion, hosted by the Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA) Convention in Rochester, NY, will explore how scholars can foster students’ civic education and build students’ engagement with social concerns through various interdisciplinary methods. The aim is to uncover ways scholars can encourage students to become involved in their communities and create empowerment.
The roundtable will welcome discussion about teaching experiences and suggestions. Participants are asked to send a 1-2 page abstract and a brief biographical statement as Word or PDF attachments to Dorsía Smith Silva at djsmithsilva(at)yahoo.com with NeMLA in the subject line by September 30, 2011.
