2012 Teaching and Learning Workshop

Confronting Violence in Latin America

Saturday, April 21, 2012
9am-4pm

Garland Hall 104, 2441 E. Hartford Avenue
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

The workshop is intended to build on the cross-disciplinary nature of the NCCLA and a broader network
of regional Latin Americanists by bringing together faculty from a variety of fields to talk about a
particular topic or pedagogical tool in an informal, roundtable format.

This year we will be talking about the challenges of dealing with violence in Latin America. This will include talking about films,
readings, and other assignments that require students to face up to violence in Latin America. In addition we will talk about how
we deal with issues of violence without leading students to develop stereotype-based attitudes towards the people of the region.
And finally, we will talk about what, if anything, we should encourage our students to do about this issue.

The workshop will be hosted by the UW-Milwaukee Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS), a Title VI
National Resource Center, funded by the U.S. Department of Education.
