Spanish at Baylor : Past, Present and Future

A Faculty Roundtable

Co-sponsored by the Office of the Provost and University Archives 

Did you know that Baylor University has been teaching Spanish for well over 150 years? Hispanic Heritage Month is a great time to reflect on the role the study of the Spanish language and Hispanic cultures has played historically at our institution, and where we are headed today. Join representatives from the University Archives and Baylor’s Spanish faculty to learn about the value the university has placed on studying Spanish since its first decade of existence, how our programs and teaching have evolved, and exciting opportunities for learning, community engagement, and research that are taking us into the future.

Presenters:
 
“Baylor in the Context of the United States’ ‘Spanish Craze’”
Dr. Leslie Harkema
 
“Early Spanish Textbooks at Baylor”
Dr. Moisés Park
 
"Linguistics, Bilingualism, and the Future of Spanish at Baylor"
Drs. Esther Hur and Isabella Calafate

Archivists Sylvia Hernandez, MLIS, CA, A&D & Dr. Elizabeth Rivera
