Cuba Workshop
The Council on Latin American and Iberian Studies at the Whitney and Betty MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies at Yale would like to invite you to a BEHIND THE HEADLINES workshop. The Behind the Headlines Workshop Program is aimed at educators and any member of the general audience interested in learning about the latest research on recent international news headlines. It also provides a professional development opportunity for teachers from public school and community college on current international topics. Workshops run for two hours and utilize the talent and experience of invited speakers associated with Yale University (faculty, graduate students, World Fellows, Fox Fellows, Visiting Scholars and others). The objective of each workshop will be to provide in depth information, diverse perspectives, and educational resources on topics that have both relevance for international relations and significance for understanding cultures, events, and histories of regions outside of the United States. Participants will have an opportunity to exchange ideas on how to integrate the content of the workshops into their teaching, network with other teachers and professionals, and receive CEUs.
Please join us for the Behind the Headlines Workshop “Cuba in the Twenty-first Century: Five Decades of Revolution”
A presentation by:
Katrin Hansing, Associate Professor of Black and Hispanic Studies at Baruch College (CUNY)
Jennifer Lambe and Michael Bustamante, PhD Students, History Department (Yale GSAS)
About the presentation:
In a time of unprecedented changes to Cuba’s political and economic situation, many observers have struggled to understand and contextualize the “new” Cuba. This workshop will take up Cuba’s evolving present in light of its twentieth-century past of nation-building, revolution, and exile. A general discussion of contemporary politics in historical perspective and a focused session on health care and the Revolution will serve to illuminate the complex dynamics of government, society, and culture in Cuba today.
When: Monday, February 28th, 4-6 pm
Where: Room 05, Rosenkranz Hall
Address: 115 Prospect Street, New Haven
Please RSVP to confirm your spot.
