*Apologies for cross-posting*
Registration is still open for the following workshop, organised by the Subject Centre for Languages, Linguistics and Area Studies (LLAS) and the Centre for Latin American Studies at Swansea (CLASS):
*Borders and traffic - comparative perspectives on teaching the Americas*
Date: 17th October 2008
Venue: University of Swansea
Website: http://www.llas.ac.uk/events/3055
The study of the Americas in UK higher education is often focused either on North America (usually the USA) or Latin America (usually through the study of Spanish). This partial focus not only leads to a neglect of either North or South America, but often leads to the exclusion of certain geographical areas of the Americas including Canada, Brazil and the Caribbean, as well as certain disciplines. This workshop, organised jointly by the Subject Centre and the Centre for Latin American Studies at Swansea, aims to explore current practice and potential opportunities for comparative and interdisciplinary teaching across the Americas at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.
Registration is now open and a programme may be viewed on the workshop website: http://www.llas.ac.uk/events/3055
This event is free to attend for employees and postgraduate students of publicly funded UK educational institutions.
Please feel free to circulate this announcement widely.
