CLAH Teaching Committee Roundtable
Primary Sources in the Classroom

Philadelphia, Friday, January 6, 7-9pm

A common problem that many instructors of Latin American history face is a relative paucity of primary source documents available in English for students in North American classrooms. Given the rudimentary language skills of most of our students, how can we successfully bring the voices and vibrancy of Latin Americans into the classroom?
