LSP 4300 - Cultures and Communities

Spring. 1-3 credits, variable.

Co-meets with LSP 2300.

D. Castillo.

Conceived as a service-learning course, the centerpiece here is targeted, engaged research and arts work with Latino/a culture-related organizations in Tompkins County like Cultura! No más lágrimas, and the Latino Civic Association. The core idea is that students will learn while participating in meaningful activities that will enhance arts and culture partnerships. Faculty will provide guidelines and resources for students to work within existing projects or to develop their own ideas; community partners will provide networks and planning assistance. All students will be asked to develop a comprehensive learning portfolio on their semester’s work. Please contact Prof Castillo at dac9@cornell.edu with questions.
