UMBC is sponsoring a Group Project Abroad in Mexico City and Taxco, Mexico in the summer of 2010. The grant will cover air fare and a modest living allowance for each participant. UMBC will pay for three of the graduate credits and most fees. Participants pay for the other three graduate credits. (Those participants, but not all applicants, will pay the UMBC graduate school application fee.) The application to the program requires unofficial academic transcripts, a very important statement of purpose, and two letters of recommendation.
Mexican Art and Culture in an Intercultural Perspective
This five-week short-term seminar for twelve elementary and secondary teachers of art, social studies, and Spanish is sponsored by UMBC (University of Maryland, Baltimore Co.) and is organized in collaboration with the Center for the Instruction of Foreign Students (CEPE) of the National Autonomous University of 6, 2010. Pre-departure orientation will be held on the UMBC campus on May 15, 16, 2010. The purpose of the project is to improve the instruction of Mexican and Latin American studies and the Spanish language. The objective is to provide participants with an immersion interdisciplinary living and learning experience so that they will have new knowledge and materials that will allow them to incorporate successfully themes of Mexican art and culture in their curricula. Required courses will be in five areas: Pre-Hispanic Mexican Art and Culture; Vice-regal Mexican Art and Culture; Contemporary Mexican Art and Culture; Current Changes in the Economy and Politics of Mexico; Pedagogic and Curricular Strategies and Practices; these courses will be taught by the project director, the curriculum specialist, and members of the CEPE art history faculty. Spanish language courses also will be offered. Through a series of site visits and power point presentations, the instructors will provide participants with a significant exposure to the extensive artistic production that has gone on in Mexico from pre-Hispanic times until the present. The final project for the program will be a dossier of materials, including a unit of instruction and a web site that participants will incorporate into their curricula and disseminate to colleagues.
